Quesadillas

Crispy vegetarian quesadillas are an healthiest way to use leftover roti or chapati. Whole wheat rotis stuffed with veggies and cheese. Then cooked until golden. Slice them in half and serve yogurt dip, Mayonnaise, sauce or any dip you like.

About the recipe:

You can use any vegetable of your choice for this recipe. Here I have used boiled potatoes, green bell pepper and onions. To make the filling, I have sauteed all the them in oil with little garlic, green chillies and I add little pizza sauce . It adds a beautiful flavour to the dish. I use homemade pizza sauce. But if you don’t have that then you can even use tomato ketchup or you can brought pizza sauce from store.

Then apply cheese spread over the chapatis. Fill half of it with the filling and fold over the other half. Then cook both sides of the quesadillas until crisp. Serve them hot and enjoy!
