Veggie-Stuffed Quesadillas

Veggie-Stuffed Quesadillas
2 small green and/or red sweet peppers, cut into thin strips
1 small red onion, cut into thin 1-inch-long strips
2 tsp olive oil or cooking oil
1/2 tsp ground cumin
1/2 tsp chili powder
1 tbs parsley
1/3 cup reduced-fat cream cheese (tub style)
5 6- to 7-inch flour tortillas
Salsa (optional)
In a large nonstick skillet cook sweet peppers and onion in 1 tsp of the oil for 3 to 5 minutes or until crisp-tender. Stir in cumin and chili powder. Cook and stir for 1 minute more. Stir in parsley.

Set aside.
Spread cream cheese over half of 1 side of each tortilla. Top with pepper mixture. Fold tortilla in half over peppers, pressing gently.
Place tortillas on an ungreased large baking sheet. Brush tortillas with the remaining 1 teaspoon oil.

Bake in a 425° oven for 5 minutes. Cut each quesadilla into 4 wedges. Serve warm. If desired, pass the salsa.

Makes 10 servings.
