Caramelized Onion Quesadillas
Ingredients:
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 medium red onion, thinly sliced
4 green onions, sliced
2 cloves garlic, chopped
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1/4 teaspoon dried oregano leaves
1 tablespoon lime juice
4 large (10-inch) wheat tortillas
2 cups reduced fat shredded cheese: a combination of cheddar, jalapeno, Monterey jack or other spicy cheese
Optional:
Salsa, guacamole and sour cream
Directions: Preheat oven to 400°F.

Heat oil in skillet over medium heat and sauté onion and garlic until softened, stirring occasionally; usually about 10 minutes.

Stir in cumin and oregano. Remove from heat and stir in lime juice.

Place 2 tortillas on a baking sheet and spread the onion mixture equally on the two. Sprinkle with equal amounts of cheese. Top with remaining tortillas and bake for about 8 minutes until the edges are golden. Let stand 5 minutes and cut each into sixths with a pizza cutter. Garnish with salsa, guacamole and sour cream if desired.

This recipie fills you up, gives you a good amount of whole grains, and has good nutrients. Not to mention it tastes delicous.

My friends love this, even as appetizers (cut smaller pieces). Because you are caramelizing the onions, you don't need to use red - use whatever is in the pantry. Works great with whole wheat tortillas, too!
