BAKED QUESADILLAS
If you don't like frying them, try baking! Quesadillas can be made with whatever filling ingredients you have on hand and can easily be made into a vegetarian meal. (I've merely included what I normally use.) Ingredient amounts are very rough, adjust to suit your taste. You can saute the veggies first if you like, but I personally can't tell a difference in taste, so I leave them raw.
