Veggie Burger Quesadilla

🧂 Ingredients

• 1 Tbsp Olive Oil
• 1 Yellow Onion

  Diced
• 2 Veggie Burger Patties

  thawed
• 6 6" Tortillas

  Whole Grain or High Fiber
• 2.5 cups Low-Fat Sharp Cheddar Cheese

  Shredded
• Salt and Pepper

Instructions

• 1 Heat olive oil in a large skillet.
• 2 Wash and dice your onion. Add to the skillet when warm and saute until softened,
  about 10 minutes.
• 3 Chop your thawed veggie burger patty and add to the onions. Season with salt and
  pepper, and cook until warmed through, about 5 minutes.
• 4 Turn off the heat and mix in 1/4 cup of cheese. This is optional but will help
  the filling stay together and "stick" to the tortilla.
• 5 Preheat your oven to 350° F
• 6 Place 1 tortilla in each corner of the sheet pan, with about half overlapping
  the edge. Then add 1 tortilla to the middle. Make sure that you can't see the
  parchment paper between the tortillas.
• 7 Sprinkle half of the cheese evenly over the tortillas.
• 8 Spread the cooked filling evenly. This is where you would add any additional
  toppings.
• 9 Sprinkle on the remaining cheese.
• 10 Fold over the tortillas on the corner, then place another tortilla in the
  middle. You'll likely have to "compress" the sheet pan quesadilla a bit to
  ensure there are no gaps in coverage.
• 11 Place your quesadilla in your pre-heated oven for about 5-10 minutes, or until
  the top tortillas appear toasty.
• 12 Use the parchment paper to place the quesadilla on a cutting board. Cut into 4
  pieces and serve immediately.
• 13 If your family can't agree on toppings, or you just don't want a sheet pan
  quesadilla, you can make them each individually. Heat up your skillet or
  griddle.
• 14 Start by sprinkling half your cheese evenly over 6-8 tortillas. I find when
  making them individually, I needed to use less filling, so you can likely make 8
  individual quesadillas this way.
• 15 Evenly divide your cooked filling among the tortillas and spread over the
  cheese.
• 16 Top with cheese and fold over.
• 17 Place your quesadillas on the hot surface and cook 2-3 minutes, until the
  quesadilla is lightly toasted.
• 18 Using a silicone spatula, flip over, keeping the folded edge towards the pan to
  minimize spilling. Having the cheese in the filling is more important for
  individual quesadillas!
• 19 Cook the other side until heated through and toasted.
