How to Make Garden Quesadillas

  1. Preheat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine the chopped bell peppers (1/2 cup red, 1/2 cup green), red onion (1/4 cup, thinly sliced), zucchini (1/2 cup, diced), and corn (1/2 cup, kernels).
  3. Add the cumin (1/2 teaspoon), chili powder (1/4 teaspoon), garlic powder (1/4 teaspoon), and salt and pepper to taste. Toss to combine.
  4. Spread a thin layer of the vegetable mixture over one half of each tortilla (6-inch tortillas, 2 per quesadilla).
  5. Sprinkle the shredded cheese (1/4 cup per quesadilla, Monterey Jack or your favorite blend) over the vegetables.
  6. Fold the tortillas in half, pressing gently to seal.
  7. Cook the quesadillas for 2-3 minutes per side, or until the tortillas are golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  8. Serve immediately and enjoy! Garnish with fresh cilantro or a dollop of Greek yogurt for extra flavor.
