Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 1/3 tbsp Extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 cups Broccoli floretes Chopped small
  • 1 tsp Onion powder
  • 2 tsp Paprika
  • 1/2 tsp Sea salt
  • 8 Corn tortillas (small)
  • 8 oz Mozzarella cheese Shredded

Method
 

  1. Heat the oil in a small cast iron pan over medium heat. Once hot, add the broccoli, onion powder, paprika, and salt. Sauté for three to five minutes or until the broccoli is bright green and starting to get crispy edges. Remove from the pan and set aside.
  2. Wipe out the pan and return to medium heat.
  3. Add one tortilla to the pan and sprinkle the cheese on it. Add the broccoli and top it with the other tortilla. Press down on the quesadilla to flatten it. Cook for three to five minutes, flipping halfway, or until the quesadilla is browned on both sides and the cheese has melted. Slice, serve, and enjoy!

Notes

Who doesn’t love a quesadilla!  This is a quick and easy recipe for a snack, lunch, or quick dinner, and a great way to get kids to eat more vegetables.
This recipe can be altered by adding in different or additional vegetables, and/or shredded chicken, pork, or beef.  Serve with your favorite salsa, guacamole, and sour cream.  To increase the nutritional content by adding black beans and perhaps additional vegetables such as onions, mushrooms, spinach, or more. 
There won’t be any leftovers, but if there are, refrigerate them in a sealed container for one day.  Reheat in an air fryer or on the stove.
