I love Mexican foods. I find them spicy ,tasty and healthy enough.
Just as Wikipedia says ,” Mexican cuisine is primarily a fusion of indigenous Mesoamerican cooking with European, especially Spanish, elements added after the Spanish conquest of the Aztec Empire in the 16th century. The basic staples remain native foods such as corn, beans and chili peppers, but the Europeans introduced a large number of other foods, the most important of which were meat from domesticated animals (beef, pork, chicken, goat and sheep), dairy products (especially cheese) and various herbs and spices.”
Quesadilla
is one such popular Mexican cuisine .It is usually made of flour or corn
tortillas (a thin round shaped flatbread made up of finely grounded Maize/Corn
with a striking resemblance to our Indian Chapati/Roti though the taste and texture differs
).
These
Tortillas generally have meats and or vegetables and cheese fillings in them and then
finally they are folded in half forming a half-moon shape and then usually cut
into slices or wedges .
Not
to mention,it is one of our favorite Mexican food we would love to eat always.
Since
I believe ,”Variety is the spice of life” and I love Eggs ,I made my version of
a typical Quesadilla with EGG and vegetable combo and Thank God it came out well .Honey P loved it.
So,here
is how I made my EGG QUESADILLA :
Ingredients
4 Flour tortillas ( I used OLE’S tomato basil flavored )
1 tablespoon butter / canola oil
1 1/2 cup shredded Pepper Jack cheese
2 Eggs boiled
& sliced thinly roundwise
1 cup of shredded
onion, red cabbage,carrots.
Salsa (as desired)
1 tsp Southwest Sandwich sauce (optional)
Ketchup(optional)
Salt & pepper(Sprinkle as desired)
Sour cream
Lettuce
Guacamole
Preparations
- Coat one side of Tortilla with butter or any oil and place the buttered /oiled side down on a lightly greased baking sheet.
- Top it with round egg slices , sprinkle salt & pepper ,add salsa ,then shredded vegetables -red cabbage,carrots,broccoli stalk& onion .
- Top it with little Southwest sandwich sauce plus little Ketchup and Pepper Jack cheese .
- Cover it with another Tortilla and brush the top with butter or oil .
- Bake at 375° for 10 minutes or until crisp and golden brown.
- Cut into wedges; serve with Sour cream, Lettuce and guacamole.
- Egg Quesadilla is ready.ENJOY!!!
Note :
- Instead of baking Quesadilla ,it can also be prepared in a pan.For that take a pan wide enough to prepare Quesadilla,pour 1/4th cup of preferred vegetable oil and put one tortilla then mixture of egg ,vegetables plus cheese and other sauces if using and when it gets brown at the bottom top it with another tortilla and flip and when it gets brown as well take it out and cut it into wedges /slices.I preferred baking because it is healthy compared to pan .
- Salsa is a Mexican sauce made up of tomato,onion,cilantro,lime juice basically.Though there are many ways to prepare them and therefore many types.I used ready made one here.
- Guacamole is also a Mexican sauce made with Avocado as the main ingredient and there are many ways to make them.Quick to make and are very healthy as well.I had ready made one so I used that.Someday I'll be posting the Guacamole recipe as well.
