This is wonderful. I wouldn't change a thing in this quesadilla. It is easy to prepare and a great use for all the wonderful veggies. Thanks for sharing.

Wonderful! I left off the tomatoes because around here, the tomatoes in the salsa were enough. This is very easy to vary with whatever veggies are around. I usually fry in a pan with oil, but gained the idea here to bake them on a stone. Both sides turn crispy and wonderful!

Good but I have to say, I really prefer cooking in a pan over oven, but overall, great flavor!!
