Spicy Zucchini Quesadillas image

My family loves Mexican food, so I created this easy recipe one summer when our garden was bursting with zucchini. For milder quesadillas, use Monterey Jack instead of pepper Jack cheese. If you want them spicier, add some red pepper flakes or chopped jalapenos. -Linda Taylor Lenexa, Kansas

These quesadillas are a great way to use up leftover chicken or beef. I always have leftover meat in the fridge and these quesadillas are a great way to use it up.

I thought these quesadillas were just okay. The flavor was a bit bland for me.

These quesadillas were a bit too spicy for my taste, but I think I just added too much cayenne pepper. Next time I'll use less.
