Grilled Vegetable Quesadillas
Chipotle chiles and Adobo sauce flavoring these grilled vegetables is a combination born for a grill. Smokey richness with a slight bite, accenting the caramelization of the grill marks burned into the vegetables, a visual and sensory explosion encased in grilled tortillas and melted cheese is not to be denied. This is the same recipe I use during my popular “Grilling for Women” classes. I hope you enjoy it as much as the ladies do! Grilled vegetable Quesadillas
