Ingredients

  • 3 Bell Peppers thinly sliced
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon chili flakes
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil divided
  • 4 Flour Tortilla Wraps
  • 3/4 cup cheddar cheese grated
  • 2 avocados halved and cut into slices
  • Sour cream

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Put the red peppers on a baking sheet and evenly sprinkle over the cumin, chili flakes and salt. Drizzle over one tablespoon of the olive oil and give a good toss. Roast in oven for about 25 – 30 minutes until soft. Remove from oven.
  • Lay out two tortilla wraps. Evenly spread over the peppers on each tortilla wrap. Sprinkle over cheddar cheese and place the other tortilla wrap on top.
  • Heat a skillet over medium to high heat and add olive oil. Place the two quesadillas in the pan. Cook for about 3 minutes and then flip them over and cook for a further 2-3 minutes until they are golden and the cheese has melted.
  • Remove from heat and cut into 4 quarters. Serve with fresh avocado and sour cream.
