These were good, it was a lot of chopping. I also had a lot more filling than I had tortillas!

LOVED this recipe! It was my first time making a quesadilla (I'm in my teens) and I think this one was a great experience :) I omitted the onion, garlic, corn and salt/pepper since we didn't have any in the house, added some brown sugar and voila! Tasted marvelous! I'd recommend this to anyone, vegetarian or not!

Once you get passed dicing all the veggies, this is super easy to make and still pretty healthy! There will be a lot more filling than the Taste of Home photo shows, but large tortilla shells can handle it all. There are more than enough beans in the recipe, so you may want to reduce the amount to taste, but the blend of all the other ingredients was nearly perfect. Add a little taco sauce or tabasco if desired, but as is, these are delicious!
