Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 poblano peppers
  • 1 bell pepper
  • 1 medium red onion (thinly sliced)
  • 1 garlic clove (finely grated)
  • 2 cups shredded Oaxaca cheese
  • 2 burrito-sized flour tortillas
  • 1 tbsp butter
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 pinch salt

Instructions

  1. Roast the poblano peppers in an oven preheated to 400°F (200°C) for about 20-25 minutes until the skin is blistered. Let cool, then peel, seed, and chop.
  2. In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add sliced bell pepper, red onion, and grated garlic; sauté for 5-7 minutes until softened. Season with salt.
  3. On one tortilla, layer half of the cheese, followed by chopped roasted poblano, sautéed vegetables, and the remaining cheese. Top with the second tortilla.
  4. Melt butter in the skillet over medium heat; cook the quesadilla for about 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown and cheese is melted.
  5. Remove from heat, let cool slightly, then slice into wedges.
