How to Grill Quesadillas With Pantry Items | Weber Grills

cheese

🥗Healthier: nutritional yeast

💰Cheaper: processed cheese

Nutritional yeast adds a cheesy flavor without dairy.

sour cream

🥗Healthier: Greek yogurt

💰Cheaper: plain yogurt

Greek yogurt provides creaminess with lower fat.

jalapeños

🥗Healthier: bell peppers

💰Cheaper: banana peppers

Bell peppers reduce heat while adding sweetness.

corn tortillas

🥗Healthier: whole wheat tortillas

💰Cheaper: flour tortillas

Whole wheat adds fiber, while flour is often less expensive.

Heat a grill with two burners set to medium and one burner off for indirect heat.

In a cast-iron Dutch oven, add chicken stock and bring to a boil.

Add rice, black beans, onion powder, cayenne, and salt to the boiling chicken stock and stir.

Cover and reduce heat to low, cooking for about 15 minutes.

Brush olive oil on the outside of a tortilla to prevent sticking.

Add a portion of the rice and beans mixture to one half of the tortilla.

Sprinkle cheese over the rice and beans, then add hot sauce, cilantro, and green onion.

Fold the tortilla over and press it down.

Place the folded tortilla on the grill over indirect heat, facing away from you for easier flipping.

Cook until the tortillas begin to crisp, then use tongs to rotate them over to cook the other side.

Remove from the grill once they look golden and crispy.
