Crispy, cheesy, and packed with peak-season flavor.
These quesadillas are a go-to meal when your fridge is full of leftover veggies or you’ve brought home a basket from the farm stand. They’re quick to make, easy to customize, and the crispy outside with gooey cheese and fresh veggies inside is always a hit with kids and grownups alike.

- 2 large flour tortillas
- 1 tablespoon olive oil or butter
- Optional: fresh herbs, salsa, or sour cream for serving
👩🍳 Instructions:

Heat a small amount of oil in a pan over medium heat. Add chopped veggies and cook for 5–7 minutes until tender. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper. - Assemble the quesadilla
Lay one tortilla in a clean skillet. Sprinkle half the cheese, then layer the sautéed veggies and remaining cheese. Top with the second tortilla. - Cook until golden
Cook over medium heat for 2–3 minutes on each side, until golden brown and crisp. Press gently with a spatula as it cooks. - Slice & serve
Cut into wedges and serve warm. Great with a side of salsa, sour cream, or a handful of greens.
🌿 Farm Stand Tip:
Add leftover roasted veggies, beans, or even a fried egg to turn this into a hearty meal. Swap in whole wheat or gluten-free tortillas to fit your needs.
