For my recipe, I've used tomato tortillas, which have always captured my attention as a comfort food. The word "tortilla" is derived from "torta," the Spanish word for "round cake" On some days when you just want to laze around and doesn't want to knead a dough, it provides a quick and easy alternative to hand made whole wheat chapati. A tortilla can be rolled with stir fry veggies or beans to make a burrito, layered like a burger/sandwich with veggies and cheese to make quesadillas and topped like a pizza, with sauce and cheese to enjoy as a enchiladas. Enjoy it the way you want, but it is a sure shot method of hassle free and relaxed cooking, giving your dishwasher a rest for a day.

Yesterday, I picked some Tortillas from a supermarket and used few fruits and veggies from my refrigerator to make fresh and spicy filling, which we are gonna to use.




Add some freshly cut juicy Pears to the filling. Pears not only add sweetness but also make the quesadillas more fulfilling. These are fibrous and high on Vitamin C and K. Even apples and avocados taste delicious in the filling. So pick any fruit of your choice to get extra boost of vitamins.

Along with finely chopped veggies, I simply love the tanginess of fresh tangerine juice on the top (to get the benefits of antioxidants and vitamins). Fresh limes can be replaced with tangerines if you are out of stock of tangerines.
