Quick Veggie Quesadilla | Leftover Roti Recipe
Delicious veggie quesadilla made with a mix of diced vegetables, sauce and leftover rotis. An easy snack recipe which can be made under 15 minutes.
Crispy vegetarian quesadillas are an excellent way to use leftover roti or chapati. Whole wheat rotis stuffed with veggies and cheese. Then cooked until golden. Slice them in half and serve with a homemade tomato yoghurt dip.
About the recipe:
You can use any vegetable of your choice for this recipe. Here I have used carrots, sweet corns, red bell pepper, green bell pepper and onions. To make the filling, I have sauteed all the veggies in oil and then poured a little pizza sauce into the mixture. It adds a beautiful flavour to the dish. You can use both store-bought or homemade pizza sauce. But if you don’t have that then you can even use tomato ketchup.
Then apply cheese spread over the whole wheat rotis or chapatis. Fill half of it with the vegetable mixture and fold over the other half. Then cook both sides of the quesadillas until crisp. Serve them hot and enjoy!
