Think about a quesadilla as a sandwich using a tortilla instead of bread. Once you consider it that way, the sky is the limit on what you can make. In order to have a quesadilla all you need is cheese and a tortilla. Utilize all of your Thanksgiving leftover in a non-traditional quesadilla or you can follow the more traditional recipe below.
Non-traditional versions
- Turkey, dressing, cranberry sauce, provolone cheese
- Turkey, green bean casserole, onions, mozzarella cheese
- Turkey, Brussel sprouts, potato gratin, parmesan cheese
Traditional version
- 1 lb leftover turkey meat, diced
- Olive oil
- 1 green bell pepper
- 1 red bell pepper
- 1 onion
- 10 (10 inch) flour tortillas
- 1 (8oz) package shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 (8oz) package shredded Monterey Jack cheese
- Unsalted butter
Non-traditional versions
- Place on half of a tortilla, fold it over, pan griddle until hot in the middle and the cheese has melted. Cut and serve immediately.
Traditional version
- Heat the oil in a large frypan over medium heat. Stir in the green bell peppers, red bell peppers, and onion. Cook and stir until the vegetables have softened, about 10 minutes.
- Layer half of each tortilla with the turkey and vegetable mixture, then sprinkle with the cheeses. Fold the tortillas in half and place onto a baking sheet.
- Heat enough butter in the same large frypan to coat the bottom. When the butter is bubbly, add two quesadillas and cook on each side until heated through, and cheese is melted.
