Ingredients & Substitutions

Tips & Notes

- •If you want a little extra zing, try adding some diced jalapeños to the veggie mix.
Recipe Variations
- •Sometimes I add black beans for protein, making these quesadillas even heartier.
- •If I’m feeling fancy, I’ll throw in some sun-dried tomatoes or olives for a Mediterranean twist.
Storage & Freezing
These quesadillas are best enjoyed fresh, but if you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. Reheat in a skillet for a few minutes to get that crispy texture back!
