I love looking for ways to elevate simple dishes to a more sophisticated palate. Even though these quesadillas are not gourmet, they sure pack an amazing taste. I made the pesto vegan and with walnuts. I find that many people don’t like the pine nut taste and some are allergic to it. If you don’t wish to add the pesto, no worries! You can add some vegan cheese in its place. Pair this with some dill dipping sauce and it will add another level of flavors.
Enjoy.
