Lentil Quesadillas

These Lentil Quesadillas are a delicious and healthy twist on the classic quesadilla. Packed with protein from lentils and filled with colorful vegetables and cheese, they make for a satisfying and flavorful meal. Perfect for a quick lunch or dinner!

Ingredients:

• 1 cup cooked lentils
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 4 whole wheat tortillas
• 1/2 cup diced onions
• 1/2 cup diced bell peppers
• 1/2 cup diced tomatoes
• 1/4 cup chopped cilantro
• 1 tsp cumin powder
• 1/2 tsp chili powder
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 1 tbsp olive oil

Instructions:

Put the diced tomatoes, onions, bell peppers, cumin powder, chili powder, salt, and pepper in a large bowl

Add the cooked lentils and mix them all together

Combine well

Set a pan on medium heat and add the olive oil

Cover half of a whole wheat tortilla with a quarter of the lentil mixture

Place the tortilla in the skillet

On top of the lentil mix, sprinkle a quarter of the shredded cheddar cheese

To make a half-moon shape, fold the other half of the tortilla over the filling

It should be cooked for two to three minutes on each side, or until the cheese melts and the tortilla gets crispy

Do it again with the rest of the tortillas and filling

Take the quesadillas out of the pan, let them cool a bit, and then cut them into wedges

Serve hot, and if you want, top with more cilantro
