Yum, these are great! I used a pepperjack cheese and low-fat mayo. The combo of veggies was delicious, and there was a nice kick! Thanks for sharing! Veggie Swap.

I made these for dinner tonight, and we loved them! Not having all the ingredients on hand I made some substitutions using portabella mushrooms, shallots in place of the onion, garlic powder in lieu of fresh garlic and chilli powder & paprika instead of jalapenos. I used chilli flavoured tortillas and Edam cheese, and the other ingredients as listed. We topped the quesadillas with sour cream and salsa, but they'd probably have been almost as good plain as the filling was so flavoursome & moist. I was a bit concerned the mayonnaise would result in a soggy tortilla, but they crisped up beautifully. Thank you for a delicious recipe I'm already looking forward to making again!

We like this recipe but found the mayonaise very rich so we will add sour cream next time...and perhaps some chicken breast strips!

This made a great lunch! I use 8' tortillas and scaled it down to 2. I only used about 1/4 of a jalapeno. Thanks Rita!
