Cheesy Garden Veggie Quesadilla Triangles

Ingredients:
6 Black Bean Burgers (vegetarian), thawed
1 red bell pepper, diced
1 yellow bell pepper, diced
1 green bell pepper, diced
1 cup shredded pepper jack cheese
1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1/2 cup monterey jack cheese
1 cup roasted tomato salsa
16 10-inch flour tortillas
melted butter

Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

Cut thawed burgers into 1/4 inch dice.

In a large mixing bowl, combine burger, peppers, cheeses, and salsa. Mix thoroughly and set aside.

Cut each tortilla into a 7-inch triangle.

Place 2 Tbsp of filling in the center of each triangle; fold each corner into the center, overlapping one another.

Brush quesadillas with melted butter and cook in a nonstick pan over medium heat until browned, about 1 minute per side. (This helps to seal the tortilla closed.) Place in the oven for 5 minutes, or until heated through.

Prep Time: At least a half hour

Variations:
I used regular, mild salsa instead of roasted tomato salsa.
I also didn't cut the tortillas, we just folded them up like a burrito or folded them in half like a regular quesadilla.
I also cooked some ground beef to add to the quesadillas because I wasn't sure if Marcos would like the veggie burgers.
I cut up some spring onions to add & also some left-over shredded mozzarella cheese.
And finally, I'm cheap, so instead of buying 3 bags of cheese, I bought a bag of shredded Fiesta Blend cheese (Monterey Jack, Cheddar, Queso Quesadilla and Asadero Cheese) and it was yummy!!

Marcos’ rating: 15 (out of 10, haha) I guess you can see that we really liked this recipe!

**There is also a Cilantro lime sour cream dipping sauce to go with this, but we just used Roasted Red Pepper Hummus.
