Do you enjoy meals that are Vegetarian? There are a few foods that I have eaten that did not include meat or chicken, but for the most part, I like meat, and I love chicken!! But since we are spotlighting vegetarian meals today for Sunday Supper, I thought it might be tasty to make this Goat Cheese and Red Onion Quesadilla. Well, talk about flavors! This quesadilla is full of them!! The goat cheese and colby jack compliment each other very well, and the red onion elevates your taste buds to a whole new level. Add a little salsa and sour cream to complete the flavor. You won't even miss the meat!
So many people enjoy vegetarian foods these days, that it is always a good idea to have one or two recipes that you can put together quickly. At the end of this post, you will find a complete list of vegetarian recipes from the Sunday Supper family that I am sure you will want to try. Use the recipes as your "go-to" list for vegetarian meals you might need when entertaining during the holidays this year!

5 tablespoons Olive Oil
Fresh Ground Pepper

Build the tortilla by sprinkling half of the tortilla with colby jack cheese. Add goat cheese on top. Add some sauteed onion on top of cheese.
Heat medium pan with olive oil on medium heat. Place tortilla in pan, folded in half. Brown on one side, then flip to brown the other side.
