Ingredients

  • 2 red, yellow and/or green bell peppers, quartered lengthwise
  • Nonstick cooking spray
  • 4 (10-inch) flour tortillas
  • 5 1/3 oz. (1 1/3 cups) shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/4 cup sliced pitted ripe olives
  • 3/4 cup salsa
  • 1/4 cup light sour cream

Steps

  • 1
    Heat grill. Spray bell peppers with nonstick cooking spray.
  • 2
    When ready to grill, place peppers on gas grill over medium-high heat or on charcoal grill 4 to 6 inches from medium-high coals. Cook 4 to 6 minutes or until crisp-tender and grill marked, turning occasionally. Remove from grill; let stand until cool enough to handle.
  • 3
    Reduce heat on gas grill to low, or spread out coals to reduce heat.
  • 4
    Spray 1 side of each tortilla with nonstick cooking spray. Place sprayed side down on work surface. Thinly slice bell peppers. Place 1/4 of peppers on half of each tortilla. Sprinkle each with 1/3 cup cheese and 1 tablespoon olives. Fold remaining half of each tortilla over filling.
  • 5
    Place folded tortillas on grill; cook 2 to 3 minutes or until bottoms are golden brown. Turn; cook an additional 2 to 3 minutes or until tortillas are golden brown and cheese is melted. Serve with salsa and sour cream.

  • Use a colorful mix of bell peppers for these quesadillas; try orange or purple in addition to the usual red, yellow and green.
  • For an Italian slant, substitute provolone, a firm but moist cheese from southern Italy. It adds a slightly smoky flavor. For a Mexican slant, substitute a pepper-Jack cheese blend.
