Roasted Vegetable and Feta Quesadillas are a quick and easy meal that's perfect for a weeknight dinner. They're made with whole wheat tortillas, roasted red peppers, zucchini, and eggplant, crumbled feta cheese, and fresh cilantro. The quesadillas are cooked in olive oil until the tortillas are golden brown and the cheese is melted.
Quesadillas are a popular Mexican dish that can be made with a variety of fillings. They're typically made with corn tortillas, but whole wheat tortillas can be used for a healthier option. Roasted vegetables are a great way to add flavor and nutrition to quesadillas. Feta cheese is a salty, crumbly cheese that adds a nice contrast to the sweet roasted vegetables. Fresh cilantro adds a bright, herbaceous flavor to the quesadillas.
