Vegetable Quesadillas Recipe

Directions

Preheat oven to broil. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.
Place zucchini, broccoli, bell pepper, carrot, onion and mushrooms in a steamer over 1 inch of boiling water, and cover. Cook until tender but still firm, about 2 to 6 minutes. Drain.
Place two tortillas, side by side, on the prepared baking sheet. On each tortilla layer cheddar cheese, vegetables, then Monterey jack cheese. Top each with another tortilla.
Place under the broiler and cook until lightly browned. Carefully turn tortillas and cook on the other side until lightly browned.

The recipe states for you to be careful when turning - I had a hard time turning them without the veggies coming out, so plan ahead on how you're going to turn them! :)"

"This is a great idea and one that is easy to customize to your own tastes. I personally add a layer of refried beans, sprinkle on the cooked veggies, then the cheese. I serve with salsa.

Warm the tortilla for a few seconds in the microwave to make it pliable, lay it on the foil and only put the filling on HALF of the tortilla. Fold the tortilla over the filling and flip it over so it doesn't keep opening, broil until brown, flip it over and broil the other side. Easy, peasy."
