Italian-Style Vegetable Quesadillas
with balsamic tomato and basil salsa
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.

Leftovers were easy to reuse - had it for breakfast the next day and liked it just as much.
Strange filling for quesadillas, but you can't go wrong with cheese and tortillas. Salsa was really good.
Not mad at it. Definitely need larger tortillas size. For a vegetarian meal, it was good. Very seasonal. Don't sleep on the salsa side for this meal.
