Nutritional values

Apricots convince with a high potassium content. This is a gentle way to get rid of excess water retention and keep the heart's rhythm in time. Plenty of calcium is provided by Cheddar. The spicy cheese thus supports healthy teeth and stable bones.

Vegetarian quesadillas can also be easily modified in a more classic way: Use the same amount of cherry tomatoes instead of apricots and replace chervil and parsley with cilantro.

Preparation steps

1.

Peel and finely dice shallots. Clean and wash apricots and cherry tomatoes. Pit apricots and dice finely, quarter cherry tomatoes. Clean the bell bell pepper, remove the core, wash and dice finely.

2.

For the salsa, heat oil in a frying pan. Sauté shallots in it over medium heat for 1 minute. Add the diced peppers, apricots and tomatoes and season with paprika powder, salt, cayenne pepper, cinnamon and lime juice. Cook over low heat for 7-10 minutes until slightly thick.

3.

In another pan, cook 1 tortilla at a time over low heat on one side until golden brown, 2 minutes. Sprinkle with cheese and spread some salsa on top. Top with a 2nd tortilla and carefully flip. Bake until golden brown in 2-3 minutes, remove from pan and cut into pieces; bake a total of 4 quesadillas this way. Keep quesadillas warm in oven if needed.

4.

Meanwhile, wash chervil and parsley, shake dry, pluck leaves and chop coarsely. Top vegetarian quesadillas with sour cream and serve sprinkled with herbs.
