Spinach, Mushroom and Jack Quesadillas

Ever since I posted the results from my latest poll, Which diet(s) best describe(s) you?, I have been wanting to incorporate more vegetarian recipes into this site.

Give the people what they want, right?  Heehee.

It’s interesting just how many meals can be made into a “vegetarian meal” just by taking out the meat in what you’re already cooking.

Many times, I find you don’t even miss the meat.

This quesadilla is super tasty and easy to make.  I think it works great as a nice lunch or a light dinner.

I especially like the flavor combination of the melted jack cheese and fresh spinach.  Throw in some garlic and mushrooms and it’s on!
