Recipe: Vegetarian Quesadilla

Today, I am introducing a Mexican dish: Vegetarian Quesadilla. A quesadilla is a wheat tortilla filled with vegetables, meat (if desired), cheese, and savoury mixture. It is folded in half to form a semi-circle or a half-moon shape. Here I have made a vegetarian quesadilla. I don't have exact measurements, but you can estimate the amount of vegetables depending on how many people you have.
