I know I haven’t been posting for so long, just been busy in traveling and then celebrating all the festivals including Diwali and Thanksgiving :). But I am back now and have quite a few recipes in my hard disc ready to be posted here.
As I mentioned in the last post, this recipe is for healthy vegetable quesadillas. Quesadillas are delicious and easy to make especially if you have tortillas on hand, you can pretty much fill anything from leftover vegetables to cooked ground meat in them.
I made the tortillas at home and I can say that you won’t miss store bought tortillas a bit if you try these.
enjoy!
