Talk about a sneaky way to make sure they eat their veggies–kids absolutely love them.

SERVES: 4

 

 

 

Ingredients:

2 T olive oil

1 small onion, thinly sliced

1 small red bell pepper, thinly sliced

1 jar (lb. 8 oz.) Ragu® Old World Style® Pasta Sauce

4 (10-in.) burrito size flour tortillas

1 c shredded mozzarella cheese (about 4 oz.)

Instructions:

1. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil, in 12-inch nonstick skillet, over medium-high heat and cook onion and red pepper, stirring occasionally, 4 minutes or until tender. Reduce heat to medium, then stir in 1-1/2 cups Pasta Sauce. Simmer, stirring occasionally, 5 minutes or until sauce is thickened.
2. Evenly spread sauce mixture on tortillas, leaving a 1-inch border. Top with cheese and fold in half; set aside. Clean skillet.
3. Heat remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil in same skillet, over medium heat and cook quesadillas, two at a time, turning once, 4 minutes or until golden brown and cheese is melted. Cut quesadillas into wedges and serve with remaining Pasta Sauce, heated.

NOTE: Quesadillas can also be baked. Place folded filled tortillas on baking sheet and bake in preheated 425° oven 5 minutes or until cheese is melted. Cut and serve as above.

 TIP: Make-your-own quesadilla night is a fun (and delicious) way to spend family time.
