Paneer Bhurji Quesadillas

“Mexican dish with an Indian twist”, these were my husband’s words for this Paneer Bhurji Quesadillas.

Quesadillas are one of those dishes that makes a delicious appetizer, snacks, or a meal. They are very easy to prepare too and if you have readymade tortillas, then your task is half done.

The good thing about quesadillas are, you can customize them according to your taste and preferences. Fill it up with whatever veggies are available to you.

What makes this quesadillas more delicious are the freshly made tortillas. I have shared the recipe for homemade tortillas in my previous post. Do try that recipe to get the fresh homemade tortillas.

I was so excited after making tortillas that I forgot to soak the beans for my Mexican quesadillas. Nevertheless, I tried my own Indian version of quesadillas with paneer. To make these quesadillas a bit more on a creamy side, add a tablespoon of mayonnaise to the filling.
