Open-Faced Enchilada Veggie Quesadillas
Updated May 17, 2017
Do you have a case of the Mondays? And if you are’t sure what that means, watch Office Space. Such a good flick! Mondays are always hard for me. Even though I work from home, it’s still difficult to get back to the grind.
Mondays usually consist of catching up on emails, grocery shopping, laundry, and planning the rest of the week. By the time dinner rolls around, I am usually too tired to make dinner. If we are lucky, we eat leftovers from Sunday dinner, but sometimes I open the fridge to nothing. Sure, our fridge is stocked with the groceries we just bought, but I am usually not in the mood to do anything with them.
Sometimes we just eat cereal, but I try to throw something together. It has to be easy though. Mondays are easy nights. My new favorite easy meal are these Open-Faced Enchilada Veggie Quesadillas.
Enchiladas and quesadillas are always welcome at our dinner table. I love them both and would have a hard time picking a favorite. Good thing you don’t have to choose because you can have the best of both worlds.
These crisp quesadillas are covered with enchilada sauce, topped with veggies, and smothered in cheese. Garnish with fresh cilantro, sour cream (or Greek yogurt) and you have a delicious and healthy meal in minutes.
I am not going to lie, I am kind of excited for Monday now…as long as Open-Faced Enchilada Veggie Quesadillas are on the dinner menu.
Make Monday a little better with Open-Faced Enchilada Veggie Quesadillas. They are perfect for Meatless Monday too! For the recipe and step-by-step photos, head on over to Tasty Kitchen. Thanks Amber for sharing your quick and easy recipe!
Definitely have the case of Mondays! And I must make this for dinner tonight – quick and easy is much needed on this day!
Hello from the UK! Really lovely blog 🙂
Looks like the best veggie pizza ever! Mexican is always a winner in my book
Totally my kinda food ~ love this Maria!
Yum! I love pizza, especially quick pizza!
Delish! I’m pinning!
Great idea, we are big fans of quesadillas!
I can see myself going just crazy with these – love the colors and the flavor combinations!
I do have a case of the mondays. Its no fun! This looks wonderful. Fast and easy too
I could gobble one of these up myself! 🙂 Thanks for sharing!
Monday’s are always such a bummer. Definitely hard to get back in the mood to work! I love these easy open faced enchilada quesadillas!! I’m on a huge veggie kick lately so these would be perfect for dinner!
Such a fun festive quesadilla!!
Uuuuuuuh HUH, baybay.
Ooo I love quick and easy recipes like this! Such great colors and flavor!
I hear you about Mondays, Maria! These would make any Monday better though! xo
I think I will make these with some corn tortillas as well as the flour tortillas. I like corn better and they are a bit healthier for a diabetic. They look delicious. There is no end to the veggies one could put on them like sautéed mushrooms, sliced jalapenos, for some kick, and spinach for some greens and fiber. And if you wanted to make these breakfast pizzas, you could add some scrambled eggs, and or another protein. Looks great and I will try it for sure.
Love all of those beautiful colors! I just made a somewhat similar recipe with enchiladas this week. Cheers to so many great flavors on a Monday!
Now that’s the kind of dinner I can totally be happy about after a busy catch-up day like a Monday! I know my boys would love it, too!
What a great idea, Maria!
Have you seen my stapler? It’s red.
🙂
Looks healthy and yummy! Love all the colors!
I do have a case of the Mondays! Love the easy dinner option!
i think i just found dinner tonight… 😉 Mondays are so mundane, which is why I posted so many sprinkles this morning. Makes things a little more cheery!
Monday’s are crazy here too, girl. Pass the coffee. =)
Love this new take on quesadillas!
These look so fresh and perfect. Want these quesa-dillas for dinner! 😉
Office Space is one of the best movies of all time. Um…yeah…I’m gonna need you to come in on Saturdaaaaayyyy…
Anyways. These.
They need to be my dinner.
There’s so much stuff on these, I’m not sure they still qualify as a quesadilla, but I’ll take it! What a great Monday night dinner idea!
I definitely have a case of the Mondays. But having these waiting for me at home after work would definitely brighten things up 🙂 Love this!
omg loving all these colorful veggies and the cheese. I could totally get into this!
These look like a fiesta — I love all the bright colors. They look incredibly good, so I’m definitely going to try them!
Love the addition of enchilada sauce to a quesadilla.
These look incredible! I hear ya on even though ya just went food shopping, you don’t want to utilize any of the new groceries!! I would totally eat 3 of those right now.
Mmm love this for a quick lunch or dinner! Great idea!
What a fun idea! Seems a lot like a tostada, which is one of my favorite quick n’ easy meals 🙂
I love that! Enchiladas are one of my favorite Mexican dishes ever! And open face makes me feel like Im eating pizza too. So win win! 🙂
These look fabulous! Love all the colourful veggies and the addition of enchilada sauce!
These look perfect for Monday night or any night!
I LOVE Office Space and could write a whole post on quotes from it! That and Swingers are my two favs. I’m digging these quesadillas really bad right now!
I’m off to smash up my printer 😉
These look amazing, and a great option for a busy weekday dinner!
I definitely have a case of the mondays right now! Off to go check out this recipe!
These look yummy! Totally having a case of the Mondays…
Super fabulous! We make something similar. The whole family loves them!
Love how simple this is!
These are so much fun – perfect for the monday’s for sure. And on another note – I need to watch Office Space again.
These look really delicious and healthy! Thanks for sharing.
I love quesadillas and this is such a great and tasty twist to the original!
This would be great on any day of the week. We’re always looking for quick, healthy options for busy weeknights, and these quesadillas would definitely fit the bill!
Looks delicious! I love getting ideas for quick and easy meals.
Love new vegetarian ideas — great!
Ugh I have a case of the Mondays EVERY Monday but yesterday was the worst in a long time!!
First of all, and I have said this before on other comments, but I love your cooking blog! I always love everything I make from your site. We definitely have the same cooking/eating style. Healthy vegetarian with some sweets mixed in! But, I also wanted to say, thank you for saying that some nights you just eat cereal or heat up left overs! That just gave you more credibility and respect for me than 100s of beautiful perfect recipes! I love to cook homemade and healthy, but I am also a working mom, (and a normal human being) and sometimes I just don’t feel like cooking a stinking thing and I have finally started learning to say it’s ok if we have cereal once a week for dinner, or chinese takeout! Sometimes, looking at picture perfect blogs makes me feel less adequate as a mother/woman because it can make other people’s lives seem more perfect and interesting than my own. So, right now instead of wondering how it is another working mother found time to make homemade tortillas for her enchiladas and I didn’t, I am saying THANK YOU!
Thanks Ashley for your comment. We are real people:) We don’t have gourmet meals every night. I actually enjoy cereal nights:)
Looks a lot less messy than overloaded quesadillas or enchiladas. Thanks for sharing!
Those open-faced quesadillas look really tasty!
perfection! I really would love to have a few of these at my kitchen table right now!
Love this easy Monday night meal.
Yum! This looks so fresh and colorful. I love all the veggies you included on the quesadillas!
Love this idea!
Could you please include the recipe?
Just made these last night! Not a fast/quick recipe but they were so good! Next time I’m doubling it so we can have leftovers!
YUM!! Cant wait to try this.
Making these for dinner tonight! My mouth has been watering since I saw these!!
What a delicious idea! Cant wait to give them a whirl!
Instant hit! So easy and yummy. My only drawback was that the toppings kept sliding off the tortilla. I guess you could put the cheese underneath would that help?
Sa0livsting with the mere view of these crispy base cheesy topping enchladas. Indeed a great post
Hi. I don’t see a recipe anywhere?
Any ideas?
Thx
