Magic Veggie Quesadillas

Ingredients:

Flour tortillas
1 cup cooked paneer or tofu, diced
1 cup mixed bell peppers, thinly sliced
1/2 cup cooked corn kernels
1/2 cup grated cheese (cheddar or mozzarella)
1 teaspoon cumin powder               
Salt and pepper to taste
Fresh coriander leaves, chopped

Method:

Lay out the flour tortillas and evenly distribute the cooked tofu, bell peppers, and corn kernels on one half of each tortilla.

Sprinkle cumin powder, salt, pepper, and grated cheese over the fillings.

Fold the other half of the tortilla over the fillings to create a half-moon shape.

Place the assembled quesadillas on a microwave-safe plate.

Microwave on medium power for 1-2 minutes or until the cheese melts and the tortilla becomes slightly crispy. The large turntable in Voltas Beko microwave allows you to cook together with all your cousins as well.

Cut the quesadillas into wedges and garnish with fresh coriander leaves.

Serve the fusion Quesadillas with a tangy salsa or chutney.
