I had these roasted vegetable and cheese quesadillas for lunch yesterday, and they were good!<\/p>\n

\"Vegetable<\/a><\/p>\n

I’m one of those people who get stuck in a rut with lunches. I hate to admit it, but I’d be happy eating a Roast Beef and Cheese sandwich every day. Forever. I’ll sometimes have a salad with that, but a piece of fruit will do on a busy day. Lunches are often a rushed meal in my house. I have a preschooler who gets home at lunch time wants to be fed now<\/strong>. I’ve got things that have to be done and I’m hungry too, so I often fall back to the old familiar sandwich. But I have challenged myself to do something different every now and then.<\/p>\n

\"Vegetable<\/a><\/p>\n

These roasted vegetable and cheese quesadillas were a great solution for my schedule. I was able to broil the vegetables while I was making the little one’s lunch. Once he had his mouth full, I pulled together the quesadilla.<\/p>\n

\"Vegetable<\/a><\/p>\n

I used Mission Artisan Style Flaxseed & Blue Corn Blend Tortillas, but any type will work. This quesadilla was wonderful dipped in salsa and cream cheese.<\/p>\n

Maybe I have a new lunch rut I could get stuck in? No, no, no! I must try something new!<\/p>\n

Ingredients<\/div>\t\t\t
    \t\t\t\t
  1. 4 tortillas (8 inch)<\/li>\t\t\t\t
  2. 1 zucchini, thinly sliced<\/li>\t\t\t\t
  3. 2 small white mushrooms (or other of choice)<\/li>\t\t\t\t
  4. 1\/2 bell pepper, diced<\/li>\t\t\t\t
  5. 2 tablespoon prepared salsa<\/li>\t\t\t\t
  6. 4 tablespoons Parmesan cheese<\/li>\t\t\t\t
  7. 2 tablespoons fresh parsley<\/li>\t\t\t\t
  8. Salsa for dipping (optional)<\/li>\t\t\t\t
  9. Sour Cream for dipping (optional)<\/li>\t\t\t<\/ol>\n\t\t<\/div>\t\t
    \t\t\t
    Instructions<\/div>\t\t\t
      \t\t\t\t
    1. Preheat the broiler on high. Spray a baking sheet with cooking spray.<\/li>\t\t\t\t
    2. Spread the zucchini, bell peppers and mushrooms in a single layer on the baking sheet. Lightly spray the vegetables with cooking spray.<\/li>\t\t\t\t
    3. Broil the vegetables for about 6 minutes or until the zucchini is starting to turn brown. Turn once or twice during the broiling.<\/li>\t\t\t\t
    4. Cover two of the tortillas with the salsa. Sprinkle 1\/2 the Parmesan cheese and 1\/2 the parsley on each tortilla. Divide the roasted vegetables between the two tortillas. Cover the tortillas with the remaining tortillas.<\/li>\t\t\t\t
    5. Spray a large skillet with nonstick cooking spray. Over a medium heat, place one tortilla in the skillet and cook until the cheese starts to melt - about 2-3 minutes. The underside of the tortilla should be starting to turn golden brown. Flip the tortilla over and cook until the tortilla is crisp and golden brown - about 1-2 minutes.<\/li>\t\t\t\t
    6. Keep the first tortilla warm while you cook the second.<\/li>\t\t\t\t
    7. Serve with salsa and sour cream.<\/li>\t\t\t<\/ol>\n\t\t<\/div>
