Ingredients
4 large flour tortillas
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
1 small zucchini, thinly sliced
1 small red bell pepper, thinly sliced
1/2 small red onion, thinly sliced
1 tbsp olive oil
2 tbsp sun-dried tomatoes, chopped
2 tbsp Kalamata olives, sliced
1 tsp dried oregano
Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
Optional: Fresh spinach or arugula
Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the sliced zucchini, red bell pepper, and red onion to the skillet.
Sauté for 5-7 minutes until the vegetables are tender.
Season the vegetables with dried oregano, salt, and pepper.
Lay out the tortillas and sprinkle a portion of mozzarella and feta on one half of each tortilla.
Top the cheese with the sautéed vegetables, sun-dried tomatoes, and Kalamata olives.
Fold the tortillas in half to form a half-moon shape.
Return the skillet to medium heat and cook each quesadilla for 2-3 minutes per side until the tortilla is golden and crispy and the cheese is fully melted.
Slice into wedges and serve immediately.
Notes
Use whole wheat tortillas for extra fiber. You can also customize this recipe by adding fresh spinach or swapping mozzarella for provolone. Ensure the vegetables are sliced thinly so they cook through quickly during the grilling phase.
