Veggie Quesadillas

We first had these delicious veggie quesadillas at a visit to my in-laws’ house and we all fell in love! They’re so full of flavor and quite healthy! At under 400 calories a serving,you can feel good about serving them with a salad for dinner or as an after school snack. My kids are ravenous when they get home from school and these quesadillas fill them up on healthy veggies instead of packaged junk food. And since they’re made with normal, easy to find ingredients, we always have the stuff for these quesadillas on hand. Your kids will love them, and so will you!
