Dinner at the Duncan House

Since I’ve returned home, we’ve had multiple family meetings in which my parents are trying to (1) treat us [the kids] more like adults, and (2) give us more household responsibility. One of these “because you’re an adult now” responsibilities is making dinner for the family one night per week. My night is Saturday each week (or it’s supposed to be; I’ve had both my siblings trade with me at least once because of stuff they’ve been doing on their respective nights).
This week, I’m making farmers’ market vegetarian quesadillas… ‘cept without the farmers’ market part. (Hahaha, that’s just me being lazy, of course. >_>) Here’s the recipe:
INGREDIENTS
* 1/2 cup chopped red bell pepper
* 1/2 cup chopped zucchini
* 1/2 cup chopped yellow squash
* 1/2 cup chopped red onion
* 1/2 cup chopped mushrooms
* 1 tablespoon olive oil
* cooking spray
* 6 (9 inch) whole wheat tortillas
* 1 1/4 cups shredded reduced-fat sharp Cheddar cheeseDIRECTIONS
1. In a large nonstick pan, cook red pepper, zucchini, yellow squash, onion, and mushrooms in olive oil over medium to medium-high heat for about 7 minutes, or until just tender. Remove vegetables from pan.2. Coat the same pan with cooking spray, and place one tortilla in pan. Sprinkle 1/4 cup of cheese evenly over tortilla, and layer 3/4 cup of the vegetable mixture over the cheese. Sprinkle another 1/8 cup of cheese on the vegetables, and top with a second tortilla. Cook until golden on both sides, for approximately 2 to 3 minutes per side. Remove quesadilla from pan, and repeat with remaining ingredients. Cut each quesadilla into 8 triangles with a pizza cutter. Serve hot.
What do you think? Sound like something you’d eat?
