These quesadillas are anything but boring. They are perfect as a midweek lunch, or quick dinner when you find life is too busy to cook an elaborate meal. The whole family will love this one. Feel free to switch the gruyere out for cheddar cheese if you have picky little ones in the house. Either cheese works well in this recipe.
