Leftover Taco Quesadilla
with paprika broccoli
We turn our leftover taco pasta topping from last night into quesadilla fillings tonight. Enjoyed with a some easy microwaved broccoli tossed in paprika vinaigrette, this end-of-week dinner comes together in a flash.
Smart tip: Bake quesadillas in an oven (vs. griling them on stovetop) if you're making more than 1. It'll be a lot less work!

Make
- Preheat oven to 350F (177C) degrees.
- Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Add oil and then red onions to heated oil with a sprinkle of salt. Saute onions for ~10 minutes, until lightly caramelized. Add sherry vinegar in the last 3 to 4 minutes of cooking.
- Spray a sheet pan with cooking oil. Lay two tortillas out onto sheet pan. Sprinkle ¼ of the cheese onto each tortilla. Divide leftover ground meat, red onions, and corn between two tortillas. Top with remaining cheese and tortillas.
- Bake in the oven for 10 to 12 minutes until cheese is melted.
- While quesadillas are baking, place broccoli in a microwave safe container. Microwave for 2 ⅓ to 3 minutes, until broccoli is tender but still a bit crunchy.
- Whisk together paprika, honey, Dijon, sherry vinegar, and olive oil. Toss vinaigrette with broccoli. Enjoy with quesadillas!
