Friday night plans include veggie avocado quesadillas!
I am totally on a quesadilla kick lately. I can’t get enough of the grain-free cassava tortillas by Siete made with coconut and cassava flour.
Typically I add a protein to my quesadillas for added staying power but today I was all about the veggies and creamy avocado.
These are perfect for summer made with in-season corn and red pepper. Not to mention they are colorful and fun. #eatyourcolors
These not only taste amazing but they look festive too! You can serve these up for family or friends for a quick, colorful weeknight dinner. Colors are indicative of phytonutrients which help protect our cells and combat aging.
These would make a great meatless Monday dinner or lunch, too! If you make these, be sure to share with me on Instagram!
