Healthy Veggie Quesadillas – Santa Fe Style
Quesadillas are a favorite around our house. I love this version. It’s healthy, fresh, full of veggies & protein and loaded with flavor.
Quesadillas are so versatile and can be filled with just about anything.

Spinach, sundried tomato, mushroom & goat cheese Quesadilla
I LOVE the flavor of sweet roasted peppers & carmelized onions, especially with beans. The corn adds a nice crunch of fresh flavor. I also wanted some extra “freshness” in my quesadilla so I added some sliced green onions and served them with lime wedges
Feel free to add or delete any ingredients. If you like it spicy, add some jalapeños, if you don’t like peppers just leave them out.. TaylorMake your quesadilla with the flavors that you want.
Got leftover chicken? Shred it and add to the mix..
There are no “rules” to making a quesadilla. Just make sure it has some cheese to glue the tortillas together.
