This Vegetarian Quesadilla recipe is one of my go-to busy weeknight dinner recipes when I’m looking for something healthy, satisfying, and totally delicious. The perfect easy quesadilla recipe for a busy Taco Tuesday!<\/p>\n
This Vegetarian Quesadilla with Spinach is made with Trader Joe’s items and loaded with healthy fillings, including my absolute favorite Trader Joe’s High Protein Veggie Burger (see product info below). No meat necessary to achieve a super filling, ultra delicious, crispy, cheesy quesadilla! I serve this vegetarian quesadilla with refried pinto beans,\u00a0 tortilla chips, and salsa.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_button button_url=”#instructions” button_text=”View
