My 80th recipe, "Veg Quesadilla", my most favorite food from the wonderful Mexican cuisine. When I first moved to US, it was very tough for me to adapt to the various other cuisines available here. Until then I was used to only Indian cuisine at home. So for the first few months it was just cooking at home and hanging out at nearby Indian restaurant. But one fine day, when we came back late from shopping, there was no other option for me to eat, except for Taco Bell. RK ordered the Cheese Quesadilla for me there.
After having the first few bites, I absolutely loved it. I started scolding RK that he did not introduce me to this dish earlier. From then on, I have had this numerous times at the restaurant here. And since it is very simple to make, I always try to sneak it in once in a while in my dinner menu as well. I will then have the privilege to increase on the spiceness level and customize the filling based on my liking. And this time it was the wonderful combo of onions, mushrooms and bell peppers for RK and plain cheese quesadillas for me, heavy on cheese though 😉
