“These quesadillas are so tasty,” Grace Sandvigen raves from Rochester, New York. With beans, cheese and an assortment of toppings, they’re such a cinch to fix teenagers could whip them up themselves.

1-1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
1/4 cup canned chopped green chilies

Delicious, quick and easy! I served these with salsa, guacamole, sour cream and Mexican Rice on the side. It made a nice, light dinner.

This is so good and so easy. There is a lot in the filling so the second time I made it I cut down on the cheese. BTW, I used reduced fat sharp cheddar. A little salsa as a topping - it's great!
