Caprese Quesadilla
Thursday, January 16, 2014From our skinny table to yours...
Are you as caprese obsessed as we are? Today we are turning our LOVE of caprese and our LOVE of quesadillas into a super quick and healthy lunch. Today's lunch will come together in under ten minutes and is made from only 5
ingredients! Can you beat that??
To start off we simply chopped up our grape tomatoes, fresh mozzarella and lots of fresh fragrant basil! That's where the chopping ends and the stuffing begins!
To assemble simply stuff each quesadilla with your sliced tomato, mozz, and basil. We then squeezed balsamic glaze over our filling. Have we mentioned how much we love balsamic glaze?
Grill these up in olive/coconut oil and you'll be eating this caprese goodness in no time! Enjoy!
