Santa Fe Veggie Quesadillas

Recipesfull introduces to you: Cinco de Mayo Recipes. (Santa Fe Veggie Quesadillas). I've made this quick and colorful appetizer for many great dinner parties. Serve with fresh salsa, guacamole or sour cream as dipping sauces--or by itself. Works great on a large scale as well. Thawed and drained frozen veggies may be substituted for canned. Look for the combination of corn, red pepper and black beans in the grocery store's frozen food section.
