Veggie quesadillas

Ingredients

8 (384g packet) multigrain tortillas
1/3 cup tomato salsa
11/3 cups grated reduced fat tasty cheese
400g can no-added-salt red kidney beans, drained
1 cup grated carrot
1 cup (30g) baby spinach leaves
Olive oil cooking spray
1 avocado, peeled and chopped
1 tbs lemon juice

 

  • Lay 4 tortillas on a clean surface. Spread with tomato salsa and sprinkle with half the grated cheese.
  • Top each one evenly with kidney beans, grated carrot and spinach leaves. Sprinkle with remaining grated cheese. Cover with the remaining 4 tortillas.
  • Heat a large non-stick frying pan and grease with cooking spray. Add one filled tortilla, cook over a medium heat for about 3 minutes or until golden underneath. Using an egg slide, carefully turn and cook other side until golden. Remove from pan.
  • Repeat step 3 with remaining filled tortillas to make 4 quesadillas. Cool then cut each into 6 wedges.
  • Mash avocado with lemon juice in a small bowl. Serve with quesadillas if desired.
