Pesto Veggie Quesadilla


This is a new one which we've only tried once, but it was very tasty so I'm putting up on the blog right away.

Ingredients


4 Wheat tortillas
1 cup      Yellow Squash, sliced and chopped
1 cup      Zucchini, sliced and chopped
1/2 cup   Red Onion, chopped in large pieces
1/2 cup   Red Pepper, chopped in large pieces
1/2 cup   Green Pepper, chopped in large pieces
4 Tbsp    Pesto sauce
4 oz        Vegan cream cheese (Tofutti is our preferred brand)
4 Tbsp    Vegan pepper jack cheese, grated (Daiya is our preferred brand)
1 Tbsp    Mexican seasoning

Preparation


1 - Chop all the vegetables
2 - Heat up grill (we just used our George Forman grill) and coat with cooking spray
3 - Place vegetables on grill (may take two rounds depending on size of your grill)
4 - Sprinkle seasoning on vegetables, and let them cook, periodically moving them around until all veggies are soft
5 - Heat up griddle or frying pan on medium heat
6 - Lay out tortillas, spread half with 1/4 of the cream cheese, followed by 1/4 of the pesto sauce
7 - After veggies are done cooking, divide them into 4 parts and place on top the pesto covered side of each tortilla
8 - Sprinkle 1/4 of the grated cheese on top of veggies and fold tortilla over
9 - Place folded tortillas on heated griddle or pan, cook on each side until tortillas are golden brown
10 - serve with fresh salsa and guacamole.


Makes 4 quesadillas.
