Quesadillas are a terrific foil for Harvest vegetables. I like to add flavored rice &
grains to my quesadillas, but refried beans work well too. Quesadillas love garnishes. I’ve showcased 2 options for our Fiesta

Once you make your fillings, you can whip up mealtime quesadilla
for the next couple of days. To
cooked brown rice & added some roasted yam, garlic, butter & wilted
chard. I used sauted kale &
more chard for the vegetable filling. Spoon about a half cup of rice onto one
tortilla. I like an organic whole
grain flour tortilla about 9 inches in diameter.
Top w/ cheese, then veggies, then more cheese. Heat a scant teaspoon of evoo in a
skillet over med heat. Sandwich the second tortilla on top & place into the
skillet. Cook for about 5 to 7
mins until golden then flip. While
they cook, make your favorite garnishes.
Fruity crema pairs so nicely w/ quesadillas.

They flip easily with a pancake turner & gentle pressure
from you hand on top. The gooey
goodness of the cheese sticks it together. Cook on the second side for about 5 mins. I cut the 9” quesadillas into 6 pieces,
the corn ones into 4.
You can make as many at once as you have skillets &
burners. They work well on a
pancake griddle too.
Any left over
quesadillas reheat wonderfully in the toaster oven or stovetop. The texture of crispy tortilla, fresh
harvest vegetables & melty cheese is superb.
