Because I could live off quesadillas, because my garden is bursting with zucchini, because I’m a cheeseoholic, because ooey-gooey quesadillas are oh so comforting, because I’m kinda addicted to these corn and wheat tortillas.

This quesadilla is bursting out the seams with sautéed red onion and garden zucchini and mild and milky queso Oaxaca. I also placed squash blossoms on these quesadillas for added texture and flavor.

If you are looking for a simple but a comforting meal look no further than a quesadilla.
