These are delicious and very filling! The small amount of cheese really goes a long way - they taste cheesy but aren't oozing and loaded with fat. They also contain lots of fiber. For a very nutritious and yummy meal, I eat half of one, a salad with avocado, and an orange.

Tips:
- Choose the Right Vegetables: Select vegetables that hold their shape well when cooked, such as bell peppers, zucchini, and mushrooms.
- Prepare Vegetables Properly: Cut vegetables into uniform sizes so they cook evenly. For a variety of textures, use a mix of cooked and raw vegetables.
- Use a Variety of Cheeses: Experiment with different types of cheeses, such as cheddar, mozzarella, pepper jack, and goat cheese, to create unique flavor combinations.
- Season Wisely: Don't be afraid to add herbs and spices to your quesadillas. Garlic powder, chili powder, cumin, and paprika are all great options.
- Fold Properly: To prevent the filling from spilling out, fold the quesadilla in half or quarters, making sure all the edges are sealed.
- Cook Until Golden Brown: Cook the quesadillas over medium heat until they are golden brown and crispy on both sides. This ensures that the cheese is melted and the vegetables are cooked through.
