Olive and Cheese Quesadilla:

Preparation Time : 5 mins | Cooking Time : 5 mins | Serves : 1

Recipe Category: Entree

Ingredients:

Wheat Tortilla – 2

Pitted Olives – 2 tbsp

Grated Cheese – 2 tsp (I used cheddar and mozzarella)

Butter/ Oil – as needed

Method:

• Grease the skillet with Ghee / butter and place the tortilla in the greased skillet
• Spread the Olives and cheese on one tortilla and cook. After 1 min, cover the spread with one more tortilla and let it cook for 1 min. Cook the other side as well

• Transfer the Quesadilla into serving plate and cut. Serve it with Guacamole / Sour cream / Tomato salsa

My Notes:

• I have placed the fillings after keeping the tortilla in the skillet. Instead, you can choose to fill the tortilla on a plate and then place it on the skillet
• If knife is not sharp you can even cut the cooked Quesadilla with knife (I followed this procedure)

Burrito – Indian Style

Burrito is one of our favorite dishes. When ever we eat this at Mexican restaurants, hubby tells me ” why can’t we prepare this at home? “. Last week I told him that I am preparing black bean gravy for  roti, hearing that he said he would get tortilla, so that I can try making burrito. I tried this version of burrito, and to my surprise it was a hit! Though it was different from authentic Mexican burritos, we liked this version.

Ingredients:

Wheat tortilla – 1

Black Bean Gravy – 3 tbsp

Guacamole – 2 tbsp

Black Olives – 4

Grated cheese –  2 tsp ( I used cheddar and mozzarella)

Method:

• Cook tortilla (I microwaved for 30 sec each side, instead you can even cook tortilla in a skillet)
• Lay the tortilla out on a plate, Spread the black bean gravy, guacamole, olives and cheese on the tortilla, leaving a 1-inch outer border without any filling

• Fold the top and bottom side for about 1 inch and fold the side close to the filling and  Roll over tightly, then tuck in the sides and continue rolling. The avocado should help the burrito stay together
