Get ready for some delicious and easy vegetarian quesadilla ideas! When I hear the word quesadilla my first thought is simple: cheese + tortilla, but they can be so much more than that! Even when quesadillas have complex flavors added into the mix they are still quite simple to make. Enjoy this list of ten delicious vegetarian quesadillas for your enjoyment!
What is a Quesadilla?
A quesadilla is simply a tortilla filled with cheese and heated. You can spruce up vegetarian quesadillas by adding additional toppings including beans, vegetables, herbs, and more.
What Veggies are Good for Quesadillas?
Most vegetables can work in a quesadilla, but common vegetables for vegetarian quesadillas include ones that don’t have too much moisture or that have been sautéed, allowing the quesadilla to keep its form without getting soggy. Corn, olives, bell pepper, avocado, mushrooms, and zucchini are all great options. You can even add fruit into your quesadillas… strawberries and apples are included as toppings in this round-up of recipes.
Tips for Making Vegetarian Quesadillas
- Use large tortillas so you can fill them to the brim with your vegetarian toppings! Leave an inch border around the edges so that the toppings stay inside the tortillas and don’t spill over during melting.
- Shred your own cheese because it melts better without the additives that are found in pre-shredded cheeses. Play around with different cheeses!
- If you add vegetables that have a high water content, don’t forget to saute them before adding them to your quesadillas.
- Have fun experimenting with easy vegetarian quesadilla ideas… the sky is the limit!
