Quesadilla is a Mexican dish (pronounced key-suh-dee-uh) generally made with corn tortillas filled with vegetables and cheese. I have made these with wheat flour roti that we eat daily.
My kids love to eat vegetable quesadilla and I don’t mind making these for them.

First of all, I am using whole wheat flour rotis/ tortillas. Then I do not add a lot of cheese and you can add a variety of vegetables of their choice. What is left to complain? Even my kids know that I might say no to pizza but I will not say no to vegetable Quesadilla. And with the vegetables, we have used it tastes a lot like pizza. A healthier alternative to pizza.

Be prepared to make extra roti/wraps for your kids because they might be eating 2 rotis daily but with this recipe, they will be definitely asking for more.
