To create flavorful and satisfying veggie-stuffed quesadillas, the sautéing process is crucial. Start by heating a tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once the oil shimmers, add your chopped vegetables. A vibrant mix of bell peppers, onions, zucchini, and spinach works beautifully, but feel free to include your favorites such as mushrooms or corn.

Ingredients
  

4 large whole wheat tortillas

1 cup shredded cheese (blend of cheddar and mozzarella)

1 red bell pepper, diced

1 yellow bell pepper, diced

1 small zucchini, grated

1 cup fresh spinach, roughly chopped

½ cup corn kernels (fresh or frozen)

1 teaspoon taco seasoning

1 tablespoon olive oil

Salt and pepper to taste

Optional toppings: sour cream, salsa, guacamole, fresh cilantro

Instructions
 

Prepare the Veggies: In a large mixing bowl, combine the diced red and yellow bell peppers, grated zucchini, chopped spinach, and corn. Sprinkle in the taco seasoning, along with salt and pepper to taste. Toss until everything is well coated.

    Heat the Skillet: In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Once hot, add the veggie mixture and sauté for about 5 minutes, or until the vegetables are slightly tender. Remove from heat.

      Assemble the Quesadillas: On half of each tortilla, layer a portion of the sautéed veggies and a generous handful of cheese. Fold the tortilla in half to cover the filling.

        Cook the Quesadillas: Clean the skillet and return it to medium heat. Place the folded quesadillas in the skillet, cooking for 3-4 minutes on each side or until golden brown and the cheese has melted.

          Serve: Carefully remove the quesadillas from the skillet and cut them into wedges. Serve warm with your choice of sour cream, salsa, guacamole, or fresh cilantro on the side.
