Broccoli & Cheese Quesadilla
I am thrilled to share my new quick fix weeknight quesadilla with you today. I know how stressful it is trying to decide what to make for dinner each week when you’ve got a zillion other things to do with your family.

As a child, my mom always prepared our quesadillas on the stovetop so I’ve continued that tradition in our home. You don’t have to heat up the oven and it literally takes a couple minutes each side to cook. I love how crispy it turns out too!
Fold your tortilla over the filled half and let cook on both sides until golden brown and crisp.
Green Giant™ Valley Fresh Steamers come in a variety of of seasoned, sauced or blended vegetables. I love that I can add them so simply to many of my dinners and make a completely new recipe.
How fun are these quesadillas? Broccoli and cheese are a match made in heaven, I love them together in this quesadilla. Before, I would just whip up a quick cheese quesadilla for the boys and now by adding some Tuscan seasoned broccoli florets, I’ve got a gorgeous new dinner idea. Hope you enjoy!

Love the simplicity of this meal!
Thanks a bunch for such a creative recipe. My picky 3 year old finished it in no time, and she fed herself (which is a bit rare)!!
I will definitely try other recipes on your website!
Thank you so much. I was going to use the broccoli I had for something else, but was bored with the same old same old. Thanks for this wonderful idea. I may add some ingredients to it and send it to you if you like.
I have been losing weight for a year now by refurbishing recipes since diet recipes are so boring and bland, I tend to add a lot of herbs to help those who need to get healthy and lose a significant amount of weight without getting bored of the same old food
Thanks for some other informative blog. Where else may just I am
getting that type of information written in such a perfect approach?
I have a project that I am simply now running on, and I’ve been at the look out for such info.

I want to try these! I’m not big on vegetables, but I need to find ways to like them so that I can hopefully prevent my toddler from being a veggie hater like me.
Great weeknight meal!
What a simple but excellent recipe!
Great recipe! Adding broccoli to quesadillas … amazing!
My whole family loves broccoli, especially when it’s paired with melty cheese! Pinned for dinner later this coming week:)
Such a creative recipe! Must try it soon!
Love this for a quick lunch! The Tuscan broccoli sounds perfect.
This is a great and easy recipe..on my list to make. Thank you! Easy to add chicken or beans too and get even more protein.My elderly parents have a wonky oven….I usually go and stay with them for extended periods of time to help them out…while there I have to get very creative and prepare most of our dinners on top of the stove. I make quesadillas a lot…this is a great recipe for that.
My kids would love this one! Hope you are doing well!!
Wow, these look incredible! love all things cheesy 🙂
Looks like a great way to work in some veggies for the kiddos, too! I love broccoli so much, actually! I’d love these 🙂 Pinned
