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!
