Got summer tomatoes? We have a recipe for you! We think it combines the best parts of two kid favorites - pizza and quesadillas - and makes good use of the summer garden (or farmer’s market) bounty. And kids can take the lead on this one, as long as a grown up supervises the griddle! Dress some greens on the side and you’ve got dinner on the table in 15 minutes or less. Ahhhh, summer!

Quesadillas:- 6 plain or whole wheat tortillas - burrito size

- 1 ½ cups seeded, diced tomatoes
- 1 tsp dried or fresh oregano
- ½ tsp dried or fresh rosemary

Instructions:
- Place tortillas on a griddle or stove top pan on medium heat. Spread one or two tsp of ricotta cheese on one half of tortilla.
