Quesadillas

Quesadillas are simply corn or wheat tortillas filled with cheese and sometimes vegetables. If you keep Cheese Sauce (See recipe below) on hand and salsa in the fridge, you can serve this easy meal to your family in minutes—or let them make it for themselves.

Serves 6

• 1 large yellow onion, thinly sliced
• 1 large green bell pepper, seeded and thinly sliced
• 8 ounces button mushrooms, sliced
• Sea salt and black pepper
• 1 recipe Cheese Sauce (recipe below)
• 6 large whole-grain tortillas
• Favorite salsa

1. Sauté the onion, bell pepper, and mushrooms in a large saucepan over medium heat until the onion turns translucent and starts to brown, about 8 minutes. Add water 1 to 2 tablespoons at a time to keep the vegetables from sticking.
2. Season the vegetables with sea salt and black pepper to taste. Stir in the cheese sauce and cook until heated through. Set aside.
3. Heat a large skillet over medium heat for a minute. Place a tortilla on your work surface and spoon on one-third of the vegetable mixture, then place another tortilla on top of it. Transfer the quesadilla to the skillet and heat until lightly browned, about 2 minutes. Carefully turn the quesadilla over and brown the other side. Repeat with the remaining tortillas and vegetables.
4. To serve, cut each quesadilla into 6 wedges and serve with the salsa and sour cream.
