Quick and easy lunch or dinner idea I made for today's lunch - Used my Colorful Wonderful Cilantro Bean Dip (recipe posted) along with caramelized onions and fresh peppers made for a super tasty meal.
Ingredients: 
- 2 medium size flour tortillas per person
 - 1 onion sliced
 - 1 green pepper chopped
 - 1/2 cup "colorful wonderful cilantro bean dip" or less per quesadilla
 - 1 ounce of Monterey JalapeƱo cheese shredded
 - salt and pepper
 - olive oil
 - a little pat of butter
 - skillet
 - Sour cream for dipping
 - Freshly cut chives for serving. (See Photo)
 
Directions:
- You are going to caramelize the onions first then add cut peppers for only a short cooking time so that they stay crisp.
 - You can use the same skillet to make and cook the quesadillas.
 - You could also grill these or do them in the oven, or oven in your panini grill or waffle iron- which ever is easier for you.
 - In skillet, add a little olive oil and add cut onions. Cook on medium heat and allow them to caramelize naturally and slowly.
 - After about 5 minutes, add peppers and cook for additional 2-3 minutes.
 - Remove peppers and onions from skillet.
 - One one side of quesadilla add half of shredded cheese, and pepper and onion mixture, then add bean dip, dash of salt and pepper and then lastly add a layer of cheese.
 - Close up quesadilla with another flour tortilla. Press down
 - Add a small pat of butter to hot skillet, carefully slide in quesadilla.
 - Cook for 5 minutes or less until browned underneath, then flip and cook on the other side.
 - Take out of skillet once done, cut up, add a dollop of sour cream if you wish and sprinkle some cut chives on top.
 - Call troops to table and eat up! Enjoy!
