veg quassidilla



A quesadilla is basically a Mexican-style stuffed pancake,like a toasted sandwich, made with two tortillas sandwiched together with a cheese-based filling. They are warmed through and served with guacamole and sour cream. 
They are one of my favourite things to eat at office ....'ON NO NONVEG DAYS' though it has non-veg version too.
After watching a cookery show 'Mexican food made simple' on foodnetwork I realized its so simple to make recipe and one dish meal...with a cooking time of less than 10-20mins you are all set to tuck in a wonderful meal.Combined with the crunch of sauteed vegetable and cheese filling, I was quite pleased with the end result my Taste bud( which is tuff to satisfy!!) and top of that my husband and the little relished it. I am happy that there is one more healthy recipe loaded with a lot of vegetables to add to my blog.
