Veggie Quesadilla with 5 Trader Joe's Ingredients

Using 5 Trader Joe's ingredients, but easily substituted with ingredients from any supermarket
Prep Time 5 minutes
Cook Time 25 minutes
Course Appetizer, Main Course
Cuisine American, Mexican
Servings 3 quesadillas

Ingredients
  

  • 1 yellow onion
  • 2 small zucchini or 1 large
  • 1 can refried black beans from Trader Joe's
  • 3 tortillas
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheese

Instructions
 

  • Start by heating a frying pan over medium heat. Add a little oil when pan is hot
  • Cut the onion in half, root to stem. Thinly slice each half. Add to hot pan with a good pinch of salt. Cook the onion for about 15 minutes. You want to get it caramelized. You'll need to add a little water, about 1 tbsp at a time, occasionally. I like to do this when the pan has some brown bits. Add some water and stir around. The onion will take up the brown bits.
  • While the onion is cooking, cut the zucchini in half through the middle. Cut each half into half and cut into long slices. You want a similar length to the onion. After about 15 minutes, when the onions are really soft and browning, add the zucchini. Cook for another 5 minutes until all the veggies are super soft.
  • Take 1 tortilla at a time. Spread a big spoonful of the beans on half, top with some veggies, then cheese. Cook for a few minutes, then flip. Repeat for the remaining two.
