Baked Quesadillas

Submitted by lucky ladybug

"If you don't like frying them, try baking! Quesadillas can be made with whatever filling ingredients you have on hand and can easily be made into a vegetarian meal. (I've merely included what I normally use.) Ingredient amounts are very rough, adjust to suit your taste. You can saute the veggies first if you like, but I personally can't tell a difference in taste, so I leave them raw."

These quesadillas were very tasty and one (divided into four triangles) is enough for each person. If you don't like the raw veggies (which I do) such as bell peppers, onions and mushrooms, you could saute them before adding them to the quesadilla. We made these in our panini maker vs. the oven and served them with salsa, sour cream and guacamole. This is a great lunch dish!
