I love to make quesadillas and do it quite frequently, usually for lunch or for an impromptu dinner. All you need is cheese/daiya abnd tortillas. You can get fancy and add vegetable fillings like in this recipe, black beans, or whatever you can imagine. I’ve tried just about everything and am never let down by the end result when frying them up the way I do in this recipe. I find that I like using both corn and flour, each have a slightly different taste and texture and both are equally pleasing. So you can try this recipe- which came about when we didn’t have a plan for dinner, and all these veggies were going to waste if we didn’t use them soon- or invent your own and have fun with it.

Quesadilla veggie filling
lightly oil a skillet and turn heat to med-high, add onion, salt and pepper and let brown (about 7 minutes, leave heat on higher and stir less in order to brown). then add bell pepper and zuchini and toss for about 2 minutes then remove from heat.

take a frying pan/skillet and put over med-high heat, add small amount of earth balance to pan, once melted add your preferred style tortilla (flour or corn, I like both but the corn takes longer to get crispy), add your desired amount of daiya and veggie filling, cover with another tortilla and let brown and get crispy, drop another spot of earth balance to the top of the top half/cover tortilla, then flip and repeat to your heart’s content.
