Vegetable Quesadillas

Vegetable Quesadillas are truly an awesome thing, my friends. Trust me, just try stuffing cheese and roasted vegetables between buttery crisp tortillas.

Quesadilla with Vegetables

Just because a quesadilla is filled with vegetables doesn’t mean we always skip the meat. Filled with leftover roasted bell peppers and cheese they are amazing. But feel free to add in whatever makes you happiest!

Some of our favorite combinations are the easiest. Chop up some leftover spinach or saute some mushrooms with zucchini for a couple more tasty options.

Leftover pulled pork and grilled chicken are some of our go-to’s as well whenever I want something a little bit heartier.

Cheese-filled quesadillas with buttery, crispy edges and overflowing with filling black bean and corn quesadillas are snacking perfection.

Change it up and make a quick and flavorful snack that kids and adults will enjoy, these black bean tostadas are the answer. Tostadas are basically oversized nachos, so what’s not to love here?

This broccoli quesadilla combines everything you love about cheddar and broccoli and toasts it into gooey awesomeness between a couple of buttery crisp tortillas.

Looking for something slightly heartier? Caprese Grilled Cheese might just become your new favorite lunch option.

Vegetable Quesadilla Recipe

1. Preheat a large non-stick skillet to medium-high heat. Lightly butter one side of each tortilla with about ½ a teaspoon of butter.
2. Place the tortilla buttered side down in the hot pan. Sprinkle about half of the cheese, layer vegetables over the cheese, and top with the remaining cheese, and the second tortilla.
3. When the cheese has begun to melt and the bottom tortilla is browning slightly, flip the quesadilla over to cook the other side. Continue to cook until the cheese has melted and both tortillas are crisp around the edges.
4. Using a spatula, transfer the quesadilla to a cutting board and cut it into wedges while it is hot. Serve warm.

Roasted Vegetable Quesadilla

Roasted Vegetable Quesadillas sound far fancier than they really are. This delicious cheesy quesadilla could also be called “find a use for all the leftovers” quesadilla or “use up the cooked vegetables” quesadillas.

Roasted, grilled, sauteed, steamed, even air-fried, or boiled vegetables will work nicely in these quesadillas. Truly anything goes.

With a house full of boys it can be hard to cook and end up with leftovers. Especially when my crew will eat just about anything. They are not picky at all. I do try to make extra vegetables though to use in other meals throughout the week.
