Chipotle Vegetable Quesadillas
"It used to be that the word "vegetarian" was synonymous with the word "bland." Restaurants and food manufacturers would replace the meat in a dish with a handful of overcooked broccoli, or a mushy vegetable "patty," and call it a day. Thankfully times have changed, and folks looking to avoid a meat-based meal (on Monday, or any other day) have more options out there, with more flavor than ever before. Options like Trader Joe's Chipotle Vegetable Quesadillas. Made for us in sunny southern California, our Chipotle Vegetable Quesadillas are the answer to your lunch cravings, dinner yearnings or late night hunger pangs. Our supplier starts with a hand-stretched flour tortilla, and packs it with gooey Monterey Jack and Cheddar cheeses. They then take dried, smoked jalapeΓ±os and marinate them in a seasoned sauce of garlic and tomato-this is what puts the "chipotle" in Chipotle Vegetable Quesadilla. Savory onions, black beans and sweet corn are folded into the smoky, spiced sauce, and the mixture is then layered into the cheesy tortilla, which is then pressed to deliciousness-without a handful of broccoli or veggie patty in sight! These Quesadillas cook up beautifully in the microwave; if you go the stove or oven prep route, you'll end up with crispy tortilla edges that provide a pleasant counterpoint to the smoky cheesiness within. And while that smoky, cheesy goodness is delicious on its own, a little guacamole and sour cream on the side couldn't hurt."
