Cooking steps
1
  • Wash and dry produce.

  • Halve, peel, and thinly slice onion; mince a few slices until you have 2 TBSP (4 TBSP for 4 servings). Dice tomatoes. Roughly chop cilantro. Core, deseed, and dice green pepper.

2
  • In a small bowl, combine minced onion, half the tomatoes, half the cilantro, and a splash of vinegar to taste. Season with salt and pepper.

  • In a separate small bowl, combine half the sour cream with ¼ tsp Southwest Spice Blend (½ tsp for 4 servings). (You’ll use the rest of the sour cream and Southwest Spice Blend in the next step.) Season with salt and pepper. Add water 1 tsp at a time until mixture reaches a drizzling consistency.

3
  • Heat a drizzle of olive oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add green pepper, sliced onion, and a big pinch of salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, until browned and tender, 7-8 minutes.

  • Stir in remaining tomatoes, remaining Southwest Spice Blend, and 2 TBSP water. Cook, stirring occasionally, until tomatoes are softened and mixture is thickened and saucy, 2-3 minutes. TIP: If veggie mixture seems dry, add up to 2 TBSP more water.

  • Remove from heat; stir in remaining cilantro and remaining sour cream. Season with salt and pepper.

4
  • Place tortillas on a clean work surface; sprinkle one half of each tortilla with Mexican cheese blend.

  • Top with veggie filling, then sprinkle with pepper jack.

  • Fold tortillas in half to create quesadillas.

5
  • Wash out pan used for veggie filling; return to medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil.

  • Add quesadillas; cook until tortillas are golden brown and cheeses have melted, 2-4 minutes per side. TIP: Depending on the size of your pan, you may need to work in batches.

6
  • Cut quesadillas into wedges; divide between plates and top with guacamole and salsa. Drizzle with crema and serve.
