Directions
Garden Quesadillas, A lighter, lower fat version of quesadillas Makes a nice lunch, supper or can be used as an appetizer Please feel free to adjust the spices to match your own tastes , These were delicious, and I don’t even like vegetables Was out of mushrooms so used zucchini The spices made a huge difference and as much as i dislike low fat cream cheese raw its perfectly fine when heated with spices Thanks so much for posting this, i needed a low fat quick lunch, was starving , I made these for lunch today and really enjoyed them I love the cumin/chili spice combo and didn’t feel any need for salsa with the fresh tomato and green onions I do think just a little srinkle of salt on the veggies would liven up the flavour Next time I will also sprinkle a wee bit of sharp cheddar on top of the veggies (just enough to perk it up without losing the low fat quality of the recipe) Perhaps with the cheddar there would not be a need for salt Thanks for posting this yummy recipe
