Calories 423kcal
Ingredients
- 2 Tbsp + 1 tsp vegetable oil or canola oil
- 3 cups finely chopped broccoli florets
- 4 teaspoon chile powder
- 2 teaspoon ground cumin
- 2 teaspoon ground coriander
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- salt and pepper
- 2 cups grated sharp cheddar cheese
- 4 large flour tortillas
- avocado, salsa, sour cream, or other toppings for serving
Instructions
- Heat 2Tbsp of the oil over medium high heat in a large skillet. Add the broccoli, chile powder, cumin, coriander, onion powder, and garlic powder and stir to combine. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the broccoli is tender, about 7 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Remove from the pan and set aside.
- Meanwhile, build your quesadillas. Add ⅛ of the cheese to one half side of a large tortilla as shown in the photos above. Top with ¼ of the broccoli and another ⅛ of the cheese and fold the tortilla over to create a half moon. Repeat with the remaining 3 tortillas, cheese, and broccoli.
- Wipe out the pan with a paper towel and reduce the heat to medium low. Heat the remaining 1 teaspoon of the oil and swirl to coat the pan.
- Add 2 of the quesadillas to the pan if you can fit them (if not, do one at a time). Cover and cook over low heat for about 2 minutes or until golden. Carefully flip and cook for another minute until both sides are golden and the cheese is melted. Repeat with remaining quesadillas.
- Serve with avocado, salsa, sour cream, or any other quesadilla toppings of your choice!
