Chef Fleming's vegetable quesadillas are loaded with flavor and nutritional goodness. There are many varieties of tortillas at the grocery store to choose from like gluten free, low carb, or sugar free. So many options to cater to your health care needs. By using fresh ingredients and keeping it light, this is the perfect lunch or snack.

The dipping sauce is quite simple and going low sodium is an option for those keeping a close eye on their salt intake.

Chef Fleming has been making these delicious quesadillas for a long time and has once again, shared his culinary expertise with the readers of WKY Community Living. After you've given them a try, shoot me an email. I can't wait to hear from you!
Vegetarian quesadillas
2 - whole wheat tortillas
1 - 8 ounce fresh snow peas
1 - 16 ounce baby spinach
1 - 14 ounce jar kimchi
1 - 8 ounce queso fresco (4 per quesadillas)
​(substitute feta if needed)
1 - tsp fresh garlic
1 - tbs. fresh lemon juice
1 - tbs. sesame oil

For dipping sauce:
4 oz soy 
4 oz teriyaki
2 tsp. toasted sesame seeds
1 tbs. scallion sliced thin
Pinch of crushed red pepper

Directions:

In a sauté pan start your snow peas in sesame oil. As they begin to brown add garlic  and toss for 1 min. Add spinach in bunches until wilted completely. Season with salt and pepper.  Add lemon juice.

To build quesadillas : I always prefer cast iron to make quesadillas but any griddle or  large pan will work. Heat to medium heat, add tortilla, sprinkle with queso fresco, add 1/2 spinach , and snow pea mix. Top with kimchi to taste (I like more some may not).

It should take approximately two minutes  to brown fold & finish toasting. Make 2nd in the same manner. Remove to cutting board & cut into quarters.

To make dipping sauce in microwave proof bowl , simply add all ingredients & heat for 30 sec to 1 min depending on wattage (just to warm & release oils in red pepper). Serve warm & enjoy.
