Bell Pepper Quesadillas


1 large, thinly sliced green pepper
1 large, thinly sliced yellow pepper
1 large, thinly sliced red pepper
1 large, thinly sliced red onion
1/4 vegetable oil
1/4 tsp cumin
1 4 oz can chopped green chilies, undrained
1 8 oz package cream cheese, softened
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
8 large or 12 small tortillas
butter
cumin or chili powder to taste

Toppings (as many or as few as you like):
sour cream
salsa
guacamole
hot sauce

Sauté peppers and onions in vegetable oil in a large skillet. Stir in cumin. When the peppers and onion are soft, removed from heat and drain off any excess liquid in the skillet. Set pepper mixture aside.

In a small bowl, combine green chilies, cream cheese, and cheddar cheese.

Assemble quesadillas as follows: Spread about 3 to 4 tbsp of cheese mixture on 1/2 of a tortilla. Top with sautéed peppers and onions. Fold over. Very lightly spread butter on top of the folded tortilla and sprinkle with cumin or chili powder.

Place on a baking sheet and bake in a preheated 400°F oven for 10-15 minutes or until bubbly and lightly browned.

Cut into wedges and serve with toppings.
