Quesadillas

Happy New Year's everyone!!! 
To start off the new year, we will be making a delicious, Mexican food, QUESADILLAS!!! Quesadillas are a thin pocket of beans, rice, and other meats and vegetables.
Food Facts: Store bought quesadillas usually contain a lot of cheese which is not very healthy and also is frozen, which means it is not that fresh, making it unhealthy. And quesadillas may not be the kind you want in restaurants, so this is why we will be making a home-made style quesadilla!! Your own type, style and topping!
LET'S GET STARTED!
What You'll Need

  • One block of cheese ( mozzarella or american cheese)
  • One tortilla (per person)
  • Black beans (ready made)
  • Long grain rice (ready made)
  • Green onions
  • Green Peppers
  • Jalapenos
  • One - three tablespoons of canola oil 
  • Non- stick pan
  • Griddle
  Steps You'll Need To Take

  1. First, grate the block of cheese and set aside.
  2. Second, heat up the non stick pan and keep one-two tablespoons of canola oil in the pan and let it broil.
  3. Third, cut the vegetables and starting cooking them.
  4. Fourth, add the vegetables onions and the green peppers into the pan and cook it until it sizzles and it's golden brown. While it's cooking add salt, (keep the amount as per your taste) and mix.
  5. Then, when the vegetables are ready, let them cool and apply the cooking spray on the griddle, then heat the griddle and keep your tortilla on the pan and warm the tortilla until it is golden.
  6. Next, take your beans and heat it up in a pot over the stove for two minutes. Do the same with the rice.
  7. Seventh, once your vegetables, beans, and rice are ready starting stuffing your tortilla.
First you can put the amount of cheese you want, then keep the vegetables you want on the cheese. Then, add the rice and beans as the last layer and close the pocket and eat warm!
