A Quick Bufala Mozzarella Fix For A Busy Shopper
Tuesday, December 20th, 2011When the going gets tough, the shopping gets tougher. This is particularly true during this time of the year. With Christmas around the corner, and last minute shopping is a must, what else can we do but make ourselves quick and easy meals on the go. Whether it be breakfast, lunch or dinner, nothing can go wrong with having a grilled or pan fried quesadilla. It’s easy to prepare, it’s nutritious and very delicious as well.
Here’s what you will need:
- 8 flour tortillas
- 1 14 oz, refried beans
- 2 green roma tomatoes, diced
- 2 green onions, thinly sliced
- 1 large garlic clove, minced
- 1 tbsp. Chopped parsley
- 1 tbsp. Chopped basil
- 2 tbsp. Olive oil divided
- 1 tbsp. Balsamic vinegar
- 1 cup grated Bufala Mozzarella Cheese
Directions:
1. spread half of the tortilla with the refried beans. In a large bowl, combine tomatoes, onions garlic, parsley and basil, 1 tbsp. Olive oil, vinegar, and then add salt and pepper.
2. Spread mixture evenly over refried beans. Sprinkle with cheese. Fold uncovered half of tortilla over filling and press edges together. Brush both sides with remaining oil.
3. Grill or pan fry over medium heat, 2 to 4 minutes on each side or until the filling is heated through and quesadillas are lightly browned.
During days like this, it is always handy to pre chop onions, garlic and tomatoes and place them in individual containers. So when the tough shopper comes home after a day of stressful shopping, it’s easier to just whip up a quick meal.
And of course, nothing is complete if you don’t get your cheese fixes from the only reliable cheese shop online, the Ideal Cheese Shop. The store that has all the cheese you need and more. Enjoy the season. It is the time to be jolly, and for all of you out there, Merry Cheesemas! Or better yet, you can say: Fe-cheese Navidad! And to all, say CHEESE!!! (camera click! Click! Click!)
