So feel free to use this recipe as a “jumping off point” for your own favorite, freezer burritos!

Quesadillas are quick easy therefore they show up in our house pretty often. I love the variation that they provide, and not to mention they tap right into my obsession with cheese!

They are so very easy to roast on your own! This combination of the green chiles with corn and mushrooms is sure to please even the pickiest of palates.
