Broccoli Cheddar Quesadillas

Total Time 15 minutes
Servings 4 appetizer servings

Ingredients

  • Olive oil
  • 2 small shallots thinly sliced
  • 2 cups finely chopped broccoli florets from 1 small head broccoli
  • Sea salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon chili powder
  • 2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese
  • Six 6-inch corn tortillas

Instructions

  • In a medium non-stick skillet heat 1 tablespoon oil over medium-high heat. Saute the shallot until fragrant, about one minute. Add the broccoli and cook until vibrant green, about 2 minutes. Add 2 tablespoons water and continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until the florets are tender, about 3 minutes more. Season with salt and the chili poweder. Remove the broccoli to a medium mixing bowl and wipe out the skillet.
  • Add the cheese to the mixing bowl and stir to combine. The cheese will start melting, so make sure it doesn't clump too much.
  • On a cutting board, arrange three of the tortillas. Divide the broccoli mixture between them, spreading to form an even layer. Top with the remaining tortillas.
  • Brush the skillet with oil. Pan fry the quesadillas over medium-high heat until golden brown and the cheese is starting to ooze out the sides, about 2 minutes per side. Remove to a baking sheet. Keep the quesadillas warm in the oven until ready to eat or cut into four wedges and serve immediately.
