Yummy Quesadillas

Have some leftover veggies in your kitchen and not sure what to make? Try them on pizza, in a stir-fry or make some yummy quesadillas! This is a favorite in our home, and you can change it up based on your favorite foods.

There is no recipe, but you will need:

• whole-wheat or corn tortillas
• shredded cheese (it's healthier and cheaper to buy a block and shred it yourself)
• vegetables to sauté (we typically use onions, red peppers, mushrooms, spinach... or whatever is in the house)
• black beans, kidney beans or lentils
• corn

I place two tortillas filled with goodies in a skillet, with very little or no oil, to brown. I start with warm ingredients, then I place each browned tortilla in a warm oven while I finish making all of them. This way you don't need as much cheese because it has time to melt in the warm oven. Yummm, I'm getting hungry just thinking about it. We then top each quesadilla with a dollop of Greek yogurt, avocado and salsa.

The beauty of quesadillas is that you can add just about anything that interests you... sweet potatoes, ham, zucchini, feta cheese, rice, you name it.

In our family, quesadillas are kid-approved with two thumbs up!
