If you are disappointed seeing this Veggie Quesadilla, then you must make this to know how good these are. This is not a regular filling for Quesadilla, but you can find all the Mexican flavours in it. It is delicious and really filling.

When a pumpkin hater like my husband has approved it, I can assure you that these are worth a try. Make it for a quick weeknight dinner or for brunch on a lazy weekend.

What is Quesadilla?

Quesadillas are nothing but filler and cooked Tortillas from the Mexican region. You can either use Corn Tortilla or Flour.  There are a lot of options for the filling starting from Chicken, egg or veggies. You can’t miss cheese here. Melty Cheese binds and holds the tortilla along with the stuffing.

When I made these Quesadillas for the first time, I sort of used whatever was available in the refrigerator. You can add or omit any veggies as per your choice.

  • Pumpkin
  • Mushroom
  • Assorted Peppers
  • Onion
  • Tomato Paste
  • Garlic
  • Fajita / Taco Seasoning
  • Cilantro

How To make Veggie Quesadilla?

The process is quite simple. Get some flour tortillas, gather ingredients for the stuffing. Next step is to make the stuffing. Saute onion, pumpkin and other veggies until it has caramelized a bit, yet holds the shape. I have used Fajita seasoning but you can use Taco seasoning as well.

You can also make the stuffing ahead and store it until use.
