Ultimate Asparagus Quesadilla Lasagna
Enjoy layers of tender asparagus, peas, and creamy ricotta nestled between cheesy whole wheat tortillas for a delightful quesadilla lasagna.
Ingredients
- 1 whole wheat tortilla
- 5-6 asparagus stalks
- 1/2 cup frozen peas
- 1/2 cup ricotta cheese
- 1 tsp minced garlic
- 2 slices Gouda cheese
- Garnish: green onions
- Garnish: gorgonzola cheese
- Garnish: parsley
Instructions
- Grill the asparagus until tender-crisp and lightly charred. Cook the frozen peas until bright green.
- In a small bowl, mix the ricotta cheese with minced garlic. Season generously with salt and pepper.
- Lay half of the whole wheat tortilla flat. Spread the seasoned ricotta mixture evenly over it. Layer the grilled asparagus and cooked peas on top. Place the Gouda cheese slices over the vegetables. Fold the other half of the tortilla over the filling.
- Carefully grill the folded quesadilla in a lightly oiled pan or on a griddle until golden brown and the cheese is melted, about 3-4 minutes per side.
- Cut the grilled quesadilla into wedges, like a traditional lasagna.
- Stack the wedges attractively on a plate. Garnish generously with chopped green onions, crumbled gorgonzola cheese, and fresh parsley. Serve immediately!
Notes
- Grill the asparagus until it has nice char marks for added smoky flavor.
- Ensure your ricotta mixture is well-seasoned; salt and pepper are key!
- Use a good quality non-stick pan for grilling the quesadilla to prevent sticking and ensure an even golden-brown crust.
- Don't overcrowd the pan when grilling; cook one quesadilla at a time for best results. Allergens: Milk, Wheat. Nutrition information is an estimate, calculated automatically. Values vary with brands, substitutions and portion sizes.
