Fresh From Florida | Quick Fresh Vegetable Quesadilla’s
Fresh Vegetable Quesadilla’s are a quick and easy appetizer or lunch recipe that takes advantage of fresh Florida produce.
Veggie Quesadilla
Looking for something quick and easy for lunch or dinner?
Have some tortilla shells in the refrigerator and a few fresh veggies sitting on the counter?
Quesadilla’s are so easy to make and they can be made individually so everyone in the family is happy.
I often make a plain cheddar cheese quesadilla for the kids to snack on. But for myself I love to change it up and use what ever I have in the house.
This week I had some fresh spinach leaves and fresh Florida grown tomatoes my husband picked up for me over the weekend at a little fruit and veggie stand.
