Ingredients
  

4 large whole wheat tortillas

1 cup shredded cheese (a mix of cheddar and mozzarella)

1 red bell pepper, diced into small cubes

1 yellow bell pepper, diced into small cubes

1 small zucchini, grated or finely shredded

1 cup fresh spinach leaves, roughly chopped

½ cup corn kernels (can be fresh or frozen)

1 teaspoon taco seasoning

1 tablespoon olive oil

Salt and black pepper, to taste

Optional toppings: sour cream, salsa, guacamole, freshly chopped cilantro

Instructions
 

Prepare the Veggie Mixture: In a large mixing bowl, combine the diced red and yellow bell peppers, grated zucchini, chopped spinach, and corn kernels. Sprinkle in the taco seasoning, followed by a pinch of salt and black pepper. Gently toss the mixture until all the vegetables are well-coated with the seasoning.

    Sauté the Vegetables: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, add the prepared vegetable mixture to the skillet. Sauté the veggies for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are slightly tender but still maintain a bit of crunch. Remove the skillet from heat and set aside.

      Assemble the Quesadillas: On one half of each tortilla, evenly layer a portion of the sautéed vegetable mixture followed by a generous handful of shredded cheese. Fold the other half of the tortilla over the top to seal in the filling.

        Cook the Quesadillas: Wipe the skillet clean, then return it to medium heat. Carefully place the folded quesadillas in the skillet. Cook each side for 3-4 minutes, or until they turn a beautiful golden brown and the cheese has fully melted.

          Cut and Serve: Once cooked, carefully remove the quesadillas from the skillet. Use a sharp knife or pizza cutter to slice them into wedges. Serve them warm, alongside your choice of optional toppings such as sour cream, salsa, guacamole, or a sprinkle of fresh cilantro.
