Mal and I decided to celebrate Cinco de Mayo a day early! Wahoo! 
Well, actually, I discovered that there is an Anna’s Taqueria right next to Healthworks, so after hitting the gym tonight, I picked up Anna’s to go. And, of course, we wanted to celebrate Cinco de Mayo! The 45-minute commute home was torture because my veggie quesadilla and Mal’s TWO super burritos smelled sooooo delicious. I couldn’t wait to get home to eat! Plus, I was starving!
I split my veggie quesadilla into 2 halves: 1 for tonight; 1 for tomorrow’s lunch. I “volumized” dinner with some raw veggies and hummus.
Inside my quesadilla was a whole slew of roasted veggies: broccoli, squash, zucchini, carrots, red onions, green and red peppers, salsa, and parsley. Anna’s veggie quesadillas are by far my favorite!

My sweet treat for the evening was a Ryvita cracker with cashew butter and chocolate chips. I ended up eating another about 5 minutes after this photo was taken– and I am seriously contemplating a third! 
And, to get you excited for tomorrow…

Oh that all looks so good!
I love Cinco de Mayo! That’s a great looking quesadilla from a take out joint!
Hi Tina
I just wanted to say thanks for the tip on Anna’s Taqueria! That veggie burrito looks awesome! I also live in the Boston area (Chelsea) so any restaurant recommendation is greatly appreciated!
Also, the bowl is very cute and the doga is…well…kind of over the top for me, but hey, whatever works!
Have a great day!
every time i see Anna’s on your blog i get so happy
one of my fav places at BC to eat at for dinner.. the veggie burritos are my absolute favorite!
I’m so excited for Cinco de Mayo, being the nerdy spanish teacher I am!!
Love the volumizing!
I have been looking forward to Cinco De Mayo dinner for weeks. I am so pumped for fish tacos tomorrow!!!
Your quesadilla looks amazing. I often am fearful of getting mexican food at a restaraunt because it always looks so way too greasy, fried and unbelieveabley unhealthy, but your veggie quesadilla actually looks quite nutritious and healthy. I wish we had this place in PA.
Have a wonderful night!
how fun!
What a fresh looking quesadilla! I love the cracker/nut butter/chocolate combo, yum.
awesome looking quesadilla! thanks for reminding me that cinco de mayo (may 5, duh!) is tomorrow! I’ll have to make something festive
Oh my yummm. I could use me some early Cinco de Mayo eats!!
MMmm I no longer live in the Boston area and Annas is definitely on my MISS LIST. Enjoy!
That looks 10x better than the Mexican food we have around here!!
I’ve never seen such a FRESH looking quesadilla. It looks amazing!!
That quesadilla looks way better than what the local place near me serves!

Thank you so much for the links I LOVE trying out new healthy Mexican recipes!!!
That quesadilla looks like the size of Qdoba’s except WAY better!
nice dinner! I totally forgot tomorrow is cinco de mayo
Mexican food always hits the spot! And off topic, all the pictures of blood oranges on this site finally prompted me to pickup some blood OJ. It was delish!
Happy early cinco de mayo! Great idea about splitting the quesadilla right away before you (or at least I would) eat the whole thing without realizing
Ooh, I forgot to mention that last night was fun!!
Is it bad that it’s 10:30 at night and I’m now craving Mexican food!? Yum! Happy cinco de mayo
What a delicious looking meal! I need to figure out how I’m celebrating tomorrow…
Veggie Quesadillas are the best!! This one looks so, sooo good!
And I love Ryvita crackers. Never thought about having them with a nut butter, but yours looks so good!
Mmmm, that quesadilla looks amazing. the only thing missing is a nice big margarita!
Whoa, I was gonna eat a cracker (Wasa, but similar!) with cashew butter and chocolate chips for my after-dinner treat! Blogger brain-to-brain!

That quesadilla looks to die for!!! I love mexican and have only had it once since my new allergy!! I MUST have it again…Thanks Tina!!!
