Whenever I feel bored with regular chapathi/roti I try to make it more interesting and healthy with very few changes and that often becomes an entirely new and tasty dish.As most of you know quesadilla is a famous Mexican dish,where a corn or flour tortilla is filled with cheese and few other optional ingredients. I have already blogged a version of vegetable quesadilla here.In the previous recipe,I had sauteed the veggies with few spices and then used them to make quesadilla but in this recipe I have used only onion and tomatoes that too raw along with cheese.Initially I was skeptical to try as I thought the smell of raw onion may bother us.But this quesadilla was just awesome,very less work compared the other version and equally tasty too.Just onething you have to make sure is use tender veggies that need very less time to cook while the cheese melts.Lets move on to this quick recipe.
