Ingredients
- 2 tbsp Extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 cup Onion diced
- 1 cup Green bell pepper diced
- 3/4 lb Ground turkey
- 1/2 tsp Chili powder
- 1/2 tsp Paprika
- 1/4 tsp Garlic powder
- 1/4 tsp Ground cumin
- 2 cups Cheddar cheese shredded
- 4 Tortilla wraps
Sauce
- 4 tbsp Mayonnaise
- 1 tbsp Lime juice
- 1 tsp Paprika
- 1/2 tsp Chili powder
Instructions
- Heat 1/2 of the oil in a non-stick pan over medium heat.
- Sauté the onion and peppers until they start to soften, about 4-6 minutes. Then add in the turkey, chili powder, paprika, garlic powder, cumin, and season with salt and pepper. Brown the turkey, breaking it up into smaller pieces. Add 1/4 cup of water and simmer until most of the liquid evaporates.
- Spread the cheese onto the tortilla and top with turkey mixture then fold the tortilla in half.
- Add some of the remaining oil as needed to a non-stick pan over medium heat.
- Place the quesadilla in the pan and cook on both sides to golden brown. Repeat for other portions.
- For the sauce: whisk all ingredients in a bowl. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Cut into wedges. Serve with sauce on the side.
Notes
Pro Tip - watch the heat, don't be afraid to use a lower temperature so that the outside gradually comes to a golden brown while the cheese is melting.
