Italian-Style Vegetable Quesadillas
with balsamic tomato and basil salsa

Active: 30 min Total: 30 min
These quesadillas aren't exactly traditional, but we think you'll love the combination of Italian-inspired flavors folded inside toasted tortillas. The tomato and basil "salsa" adds a fresh complement to the melted cheese of the quesadillas.
