Veggie Quesadillas

Malriah's Note:

Looks like "junk food" but are a good way to sneak some veggies into your (or your kids) diet. Also great for game day. I make them for our poker parties or anytime we want a "good for you" snack.

Gosh I just saw this in my cookbook and forgotten to rate it. I tried this recipe 3 months ago and it was really good. Has to be the first time I made quesadillas that actually held together. I made it just as you said but I imagine if anyone wanted to add chicken it would fit right in.

Kari, I really enjoyed this quesadilla! I used summer squash and carrots, sweet Maui onions and left out the bell pepper. I used sharp cheddar and salsa and sour cream to top. Yum! I had a delicious dinner! Thanks!

Very easy to make and YUMMY to boot. We also added some fresh herbs for a different twist.
