Artichoke Quesadillas

Need an idea for a quick and easy lunch or dinner??

Oh good —

I’ve got one for you!

We’re still knee-deep in our kitchen remodel (for more about that, read THIS) so I’m looking to keep our meals as simple as possible right now.

This is one of my go-to dishes when I want something

that’s ready in minutes

but is a little more elevated

than just your everyday sandwich or grilled cheese.

Here’s what you’ll need:

4 flour tortillas

1 jar or can of plain (not marinated) artichoke hearts, well-drained

3 ripe red tomatoes, sliced

1 cup shredded Mozzarella or Jack cheese

granulated garlic, salt and pepper to taste

olive oil for grilling

And here’s how to make them:

Add a layer of cheese to one side of a flour tortilla.

Layer 1/4 of the jar of artichoke hearts over the cheese.

Sprinkle granulated garlic over the artichoke hearts to taste.

Add salt and pepper if desired.

Layer sliced tomatoes over the artichokes.

Add another layer of cheese.

Fold the tortilla in half over the ingredients

and brush a small amount of olive oil on the side facing up.

Preheat an iron skillet on medium for a couple of minutes

Place the quesadilla in the skillet with the oiled side facing down

and grill until the tortilla is lightly browned and the cheese is melted.

Brush the remaining top side of the tortilla with a little oil

and flip it over to grill that side

Remove from the pan when both sides are golden brown, the cheese is melted and the quesadilla is heated through.

Repeat with the remaining tortillas, cheese, tomatoes and artichokes.

And that’s all there is to it!

And they’re especially good with homegrown tomatoes right out of your garden!
