Vegetable Quesadilla

A lunch outside in a restaurent makes you feel heavy always. Today our day was full on shopping and ended up eating heavy lunch outside. Willingness for having a dinner wasn't there but sleeping empty stomach doesn't make sense. So, my brain started to do all sorts of permutation and combination to arrive at a conclusion as what to prepare for dinner and voila the bulb glowed!
I came up with an idea of preparing Vegetable quesadilla.An ideal dinner for both grown ups and kids.
Basically a mexican origin dish, Quesa meaning cheese and quesadilla is infact a flour tortilla filled with cheese and toasted.
But now many versions of quesadillas are available. Here I bring for you all a veggie loaded Quesadilla.
