"This is a Canadian Living recipe and has been a favourite at our house. Serve these quesadillas with a green salad and you have a meatless but very tasty meal. The recipe indicates 4 servings (4 whole quesadillas) but I find that with a salad, 1/2 of a quesadilla fills me up. I have never used the jalapenos, as I don't like foods that are too spicy. Enjoy!"
