Grilled Vegetable Quesadillas {healthy!}

This recipe for Grilled Vegetable Quesadillas is so tasty and so healthy, you’ll want to make it all the time. It only takes about 20 minutes to whip this up, but once it’s ready to eat, it won’t last that long (trust me!) 🙂

It’s a fun food for the little ones, too. My daughters love eating quesadillas, because they love holding the tortillas and dipping them in sour cream or salsa. It makes eating food fun! And if it’s fun, they’re more likely to eat their dinner!

I like it too, because it’s much healthier than traditional quesadillas that are laden in cheese and oil and fat. These are lean- stuffed with grilled vegetables! And they taste fabulous, too!
