Portobello Quesadillas

 

 

1/4 cup red bell pepper, diced or sliced thin

1/4 cup onions, diced

1/4 cup fresh broccoli, chopped (may substitute thawed, frozen broccoli)

1/2 portobello mushroom cap, sliced thin

3 tablespoons vegetarian refried beans

1 teaspoon chili powder, or more to taste

1 teaspoon ground cumin, or more to taste

1 whole wheat flour tortilla, burrito size

1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese

 

 

Directions:

 

Heat olive oil in skillet on medium heat.

 

Saute onion and bell pepper until tender-crisp, about 3-5 minutes.

 

Add portobello and broccoli and saute until tender, about 3-5 minutes.

 

Add chili powder and cumin. Mix well and turn heat to low. Leave to simmer

for 3 minutes to allow the flavors to blend.

 

Meanwhile, heat a griddle or another skillet on low-medium heat.

 

Place tortilla on griddle or in second skillet for a few seconds, just to

warm it a bit (no oil needed).

 

Remove tortilla from heat and place on plate.

 

Spread refried beans on half of the tortilla.

 

Top same half with veggie mixture and soy cheese (if using).

 

Fold in half and place on heated griddle or pan.

 

Heat for 3-4 minutes on each side, just until tortilla is slightly browned.

 

Remove from heat, cut into triangles and enjoy topped with guacamole.

time. The molecules of your body are the same molecules that make up this

station and the nebula outside, that burn inside the stars themselves. We

are starstuff, we are the universe made manifest, trying to figure itself

out. As we have both learned, sometimes the universe requires a change of

perspective. "
