Mexican food is one of my favorite things to eat and with all the taco trucks around Los Angeles, it’s hard not to find some amazing cuisine. However, there are days where I just want to make my own Mexican food at home, especially with a little seasonal produce added to it.  I love to create traditional recipes, but with a slightly refresher twist; like these Chicken, Cheddar & Sauteed Zucchini Quesadillas.

This recipe couldn’t be more simple, but that’s what makes it so good.  These Chicken, Cheddar & Sauteed Zucchini Quesadillas are perfect to eat as a quick dinner, light lunch or slice up into wedges and serve as an appetizer with margaritas.  I think you will really enjoy the zucchini — it really adds to the creamy texture without overpowering the delicious flavors.  This is one recipe that your kids could definitely prepare at home with you.
