Ingredients
- 1 medium red or yellow bell pepper (about 4 ounces), thinly sliced lengthwise
- 1 small jalapeño, seeded and thinly sliced lengthwise
- 1 small red onion, (about 4 ounces), thinly sliced
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- ¼ teaspoon freshly ground pepper
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 large flour tortillas
- 3 ounces Monterey Jack, shredded
Preparation
- Insert plates on grill side . With the unit closed, preheat the Cuisinart® Griddler® Compact to High.
- Put the pepper, jalapeño and onion into a mixing bowl and toss with the salt and pepper, chili powder and olive oil.
- Once grill has preheated, grill vegetables, turning every 2 minutes until soft and slightly golden. Remove and reserve.
- Place both tortillas on a flat work surface. Divide the grilled vegetables and distribute evenly on bottom half of the tortillas. Layer shredded cheese on top, leaving a ½-inch border around the edge of the tortilla to prevent any cheese from melting out. Fold empty portion of tortilla over the filling.
- Carefully close grill and turn heat down between Medium and High. Place 1 quesadilla on bottom half of grill and close top. Grill closed for about 2 to 3 minutes, until golden grill marks are visible and cheese is melted. Repeat with remaining quesadilla.
- Serve immediately. Quesadillas may also be cut into wedges for serving.
