These Vegetable Chipotle Quesadillas make a wonderful dinner idea. These quesadillas are made with smokey chipotle peppers, bell peppers, red onions all nestled in a tortilla with warm Monterey Jack cheese and a traditional flavor that will have your family wanting more.

For a wonderful meal idea, pair these with our Easy Taco Soup for a flavorful meal.

Vegetable Chipotle Quesadilla - Savory and Meatless Dinner Recipe

When I was a little girl one of the first things I can remember my grandmother making me was a quesadilla. I was kind of a picky eater when I was little. I used to think of a quesadilla as a Mexican version of a grilled cheese sandwich.

My grandmother used to take great care in making these and she always serve them with her homemade tortillas. She also always serve them with her homemade salsa and a loving heart.

I make quesadillas for my family to but I do not make my own tortillas. But I have changed up the cheese quesadilla over the years. I love to add different ingredients to really make a fabulous meal.
My vegetable chipotle quesadilla is made with fresh garden vegetables, roasted chipotle peppers and store-bought tortillas (sorry Grandma!) These smokey and mildly spicy vegetable quesadillas make for a delightful meal! It's also meatless, so it's perfect for a "Meatless Monday" too!

 The vegetables are sautéed,

and then combined with the chipotle peppers that really brings out the flavors.

A tortilla sets the stage for the vegetable goodness,

And fresh Monterey Jack Cheese melts the smokey and savory flavors together.

I cut the quesadilla in half and serve with Pico De Gallo and sour cream. It is also great with salsa.

 These are so tasty!

    I totally pinned this! Looks delicious 🙂 I'm always looking for something with a kick because my husband says my food is rather bland.

    At some point when Des was only one and Scarlet was four, we realized they both loved quesadillas. And of course, we do too. It's a family favorite for us and I hope it alway sis!
