Roasted Mix Veg Quesadilla #Recipe |
Long back I had a similar quesadilla at a local Mexican eatery - Picantos in Pune and since then I make my own version of it at home. Tortilla wraps are not easily available in India but that is not a cause for concern as home-made whole-wheat chapatis can easily replace them in this recipe.
This is a great dish for kids who are bored of eating the regular chapati and sabji combo. You can get as inventive as you like when it comes to the filling - try only corn and capsicum filling, zucchini and mushroom or a mixed veg filling like mine.
Let's check the recipe for roasted mix veg quesadilla recipe now.
Roasted Mix Veg Quesadilla Recipe
Ingredients:
6 Whole-wheat Tortilla (You can easily replace it with home-made whole-wheat chapati)
1 large carrot, chopped into medium slices
1/4 cup chopped green beans
1/4 cup thinly sliced baby corn
1/4 cup chopped capsicum
1/4 cup boiled sweetcorn
1 large onion cut into chunks
1 tbsp oil
Salt and pepper to taste
2 tbsp butter
3/4 cup grated cheese
Process:
1 tbsp oil
Salt and pepper to taste
2 tbsp butter
3/4 cup grated cheese
Process:
1. In a bowl, mix veggies, oil, salt and pepper. Toss around well.
2. Line a baking tray with parchment paper, add the veggies and grill it in an oven at 200 C for 8-10 minutes, till the veggies are slightly cooked charred. Alternately, you can also pan roast the veggies on the stove top.
3. Take a tortilla wrap or homemade chapatti and arrange the roasted veggies in one half and place a layer of grated cheese over it. Fold it to form a semi-circle.
4. Apply some butter on each side and cook on a pan till both side are slightly golden in colour and the cheese has melted. Repeat the same with rest of the tortilla wraps.
5. You can also spread the filling on the entire tortilla wrap and then cover it with a second wrap and proceed with the rest of the method. But, I prefer the semi-circle method as it is less messy
6. Serve these hot with hot spicy tomato salsa. Kids can enjoy it with ketchup as well.
Notes:
The filling can be easily customised as per one's taste or on the availability of veggies. Mushrooms, zucchini can also be used if you like them.
