Lentil Quesadillas

These homemade quesadillas are one of the easiest meals I make and they’re so delicious. I’ve made the lentils with diced tomatoes, red bell pepper, red onion, and a variety of seasoning, making the filling for the quesadillas so flavourful. Enjoy!



Ingredients

1 1/4 cups dried lentils

2 1/4 cups vegetable broth

1 cup diced tomatoes

1 red bell pepper -diced

1 small red onion -diced

4-5 tsp chili powder

2 tsp onion powder

2 tsp garlic powder

1 tsp paprika

Dash of cayenne pepper

Salt and black pepper to taste

Shredded cheddar cheese

Tortilla wraps



Directions

- Put the dried lentils and 2 cups of vegetable broth in a pan and heat on medium. Bring to a soft boil.

- Reduce the heat to low and cover.

- Cook for 25 minutes.

- Remove the cover and add in the remaining ingredients, except for the cheese. Mix well.

- Increase the heat to medium and bring back to a soft boil.

- Reduce the heat a little to maintain a soft boil. Mix often.

- Cook until the lentils are tender and the mixture thickens. Mix often.

- Add in a little more broth if needed.

- Pre-heat the oven to 350 degrees F.

- Place a tortilla wrap on the cookie sheet and spread out some of the lentils on one side. Top with some cheddar cheese.

- Fold over the other half of the tortilla and press down slightly to compact.

- Continue with one or two more tortillas.
