• "Nummy! I have made this recipe many times...as written...and I also like to cut the zucchini into thin strips and grill them so that they have nice grill marks before I throw them into the tortilla. Either way, these have awesome flavor...just take it easy on the pesto and cheese because together they make it really easy to end up in a place that is far greasier than you might like!"

• "This is fantastic! Thank you so much for posting. I used home made pesto sauce and used a nutritional yeast "cheese" to make it vegan. Delicious! I will definitely be making this again."

• "Other than chopping up a few cloves of garlic & adding it to the zucchini, I followed the recipe as written. One word - FANTASTIC! I served these with spanish rice and corn chips. What a change from the usual quesadilla - highly recommended."

• "I was not too into pesto or avocados but my next door neighbor (Mrs. Cookie) gave me some pesto she made and I had avocados on hand for my infant son so I figured I'd give it a try. Boy, do I love pesto and avocado now!! Such an interesting combination of flavors that made me say, "Mmmmm" after every bite. I was worried about over stuffing and oozing so I was conservative with the filling but I won't be next time. The cheese held everything together well and the oil ooze from the pesto gave the tortillas a nice flavor and crispiness. The sour cream was a perfect addition and my hubby and two year old enjoyed the salsa for dipping as well. I'm considering adding tomatoes next time, but don't really want to mess with perfection! :o) Thank you so much for broadening my taste horizons."

• "I was a little skeptical about the pesto in a kind of mexican dish, but WOW, this was good. My daughter and husband both said it was really good. I think the tricky part is to keep your stove hot enough to melt the cheese, but cool enough to not burn the tortilla. This made a good meal for us."

• "We discovered we had no avocado after everything was ready. They tasted great without so we are excited to try it with. They are a little messy with the pesto. It seems like a strange combination of tastes, but it all goes together very will. This was a great easy weekend lunch."

• "This is quite tasty, and very very easy. I use more zucchini and avocado, but my tortillas are about 10-11", and maybe 6" are what this recipe calls for. Then again, my zucchini (6-7" long, 3/4 inch in diameter) may be smaller. I make my own pesto and freeze it in ice cube trays, and one ice-cube is perfect for this recipe. If I have no shredded cheese, sliced works just as well, and mozzarella or Swiss tastes as good as pepper Jack. I use a bit of olive oil instead of non-stick pan spray, as I can't use it on my cookware. Thanks for posting a very good recipe, Maesyn!"

• "I am so impressed with this recipe! I made it for myself because I wanted to try it out first but when my mom and sister came over I had to make them one too because I thought it was so great!!! The best part? My 3 year old LOVED them too! I WAS NOT expecting that! Thanks!"

• "Absolutely scrumptious meal! I savored every bite! This was sooooooo yummy! I can't wait to make it again!"

• "I made these for lunch yesterday and again today. Yesterday I used two tortillas per serve, and in spite of doubling the filling it become lost in the tortillas, so I wouldn't recommend that. I cooked them in butter yesterday and found them to be a bit rich as there was already enough oil from the pesto, cheese, fried zucchini and avocado. Today I used double the amount of zucchini & avocado and everything else as listed, cooking them in light olive oil spray, as recommended. They were great! :)"

• "This was super easy "comfort" food which isn't actually too bad for you (as long as you go easy on the cheese and/or sour cream!). I'm allergic to pinenuts so I substituted Recipe #75195 (Pumpkin Seed, Basil and Miso Pesto) for the store bought pesto and the pairing worked well. I also used parmesan cheese instead of monterey jack. Top points for being delicious and super easy!"

• "This is now one of my absolute favorite suppers! So easy to put together and yummy. I add a little chopped onion, and have a fresh, delicious dinner in just a few short minutes! Thanks for this unusual, wonderful recipe!"

• "Delicious! Even my very finnicky 6 year old who dislikes anything that involves vegetables enjoyed the quesadillas."

• " Oh my god! This is so good and so easy to do. I have to say, I used old cheddar instead of Monterey jack and I completely disregarded the step 2. I did not place the tortilla in the oven while I was cocking the zucchini. Instead, after Step 7, to assure a crispy tortilla, I distempered each sides of the quesadillas with butter . You really have to try this. Served with sour cream, it's heaven on earth. "
