Cheese and Veggie Quesadilla, with grilled veggies, avocados, and a cilantro spread.

Today is going to be a doozy. I’m making up for sparse blogging over the summer. Kids are back in school now and I have a little more time to…. well, just concentrate and complete a single task. 😉 So, I made these wonderful quesadillas the other day, but I can’t just post about those, because many great things brought this dish together. Also on my blog today, is a recipe for traditional Pico De Gallo (chunky salsa), and a yummy Cilantro Spread. Three recipes = a fresh and delicious meal. I filled my quesadillas with grilled veggies, fresh avocado, cheese, and a cilantro/mayo/yogurt spread. I used corn tortillas because I cut back on gluten when I can. They can just as easily be made with flour or brown rice tortillas. Below you will find pictures of the prep. Scroll down for recipe.↓

Over high heat, brown your chopped veggies.
(Stir often, for about 5 minutes).↓

In a large fry pan or skillet, over high heat, place tortillas.↓

Top one tortilla with shredded cheese and grilled veggies.↓

spoon cilantro spread over one tortilla.↓

Immediately after topping with cilantro spread,
flip onto filled tortilla and remove from heat.↓
