Veggie Quesadillas

Kids usually love Mexican food, but how can you get them to eat their vegetables? Its easy with Veggie Quesadillas. Based with corn, onion and pepper, these are harmless, tasty vegetables, that most children will love.

Have a vegetarian lifestyle? This is perfect for you! Quick, easy and low-fat. My top three for a great recipe.

Who doesn't love a quesadilla? Certainly not anyone in my family!

Ingredients:

1 red onion, chopped
1 red bell pepper, chopped
7 oz. canned corn (or about 1/2 c. frozen corn)
1 T. olive oil
1 T. balsamic vinegar
1 T. honey
4 flour tortillas
1/4 c. salsa
1 c. shredded cheddar cheese
1/2 c. sour cream

Directions:

Saute the onion and pepper in the olive oil over medium heat for 2-3 minutes. Add corn and cook an additional 2 minutes.

Stir in the balsamic vinegar and honey. Cook for about 1 more minute, then remove from heat.

Take out the tortillas, then spread each with 1 T. of salsa. Divide veggie mixture among each one. Sprinkle each with cheese. Fold bottom of the tortilla up, then each side in.

Place seam-side down on a baking sheet. Sprinkle with remaining cheese. Broil under high heat for 1-2 minutes. Serve with sour cream.

Enjoy a quick and tasty dinner!
