Grilled Caprese Quesadillas

Enjoy summer tomatoes!

I am always on the lookout for recipes for summer tomatoes. Tomatoes are one of my favorite veggies and while I do eat them all year round, nothing beats a juicy garden ripe tomato.

Add some pesto and mozzarella, warm it in a nice tortilla and then you have some super tasty goodness. Be careful you don’t eat it all yourself!!

I was worried that the quesadillas wouldn’t stay closed on the grill, but it was actually really easy!
