I just love Quesadillas...urs are tempting me so much.
Me a big fan of quesadillas and fajitas.I used to be a big fan of button mushrooms, but once after an overdose of it, i stopped eating them forever :( I still love oyster mushrooms which unfortunately are unavailable here. Anyway, i guess i'll keep all my woes to myself.
Nice recipe anyway.

I'll be honest ... am having a hard time accepting a quesadilla without cheese. BUT they do have mushrooms, which I love, and guacamole, which is always fantastic ... so I'll give you the benefit of the doubt Yasmeen ;)

Avocado instead of cheese more than makes up in these quesadillas. An unusual and healthy option.
