Zesty Lemon Broccoli Quesadillas
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup Broccoli Florets, (finely chopped)
- 2 Tortillas
- 1/4 cup Mozzarella Cheese, (vegan or regular)
- 1/2 Lemon, (zest & juice)
- 1 tsp. Extra Virgin Olive Oil
- 1/2 tsp. Red Pepper Flakes
- Salt, (to taste)
- Avocado, (sliced (for serving))
- Lemon Wedges ((for serving))
Instructions
- Line a baking pan with parchment paper or lightly grease with olive oil.
- Toss together the lemon juice, lemon zest, finely chopped broccoli florets, red pepper flakes, and a dash of salt. Broil (500F - 550F) in the oven for 5-7 minutes, until tender and crisp.
- In a frying pan over medium high heat, warm up the olive oil for 1 minute. Add in the first tortilla to cook for 1-2 minutes (until golden brown spots) then flip the tortilla. Evenly spread the shredded mozzarella cheese on the tortilla, then the roasted broccoli. Cover with the second tortilla.
- Cook for 2-3 minutes (until golden brown on that side), then carefully flip the quesadilla to cook an additional 2-3 minutes. Serve warm with lemon wedges and slices of avocado. Enjoy!
