Ingredients
  

4 large flour tortillas

1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

1 cup bell peppers (any color), diced

1 cup zucchini, diced

1 cup mushrooms, diced

1 small red onion, finely chopped

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon cumin

1 tablespoon olive oil

Salt and pepper to taste

Fresh cilantro, for garnish (optional)

Sour cream or salsa, for serving

Instructions
 

Prep the Veggies: In a medium skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced bell peppers, zucchini, mushrooms, and red onion. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes until the vegetables are tender. Season with garlic powder, cumin, salt, and pepper. Remove from heat.

    Prepare the Quesadilla Filling: In a large bowl, combine the sautéed vegetables with the shredded mozzarella and cheddar cheese. Mix well until everything is evenly incorporated.

      Assemble the Quesadillas: Lay out the flour tortillas on a clean surface. Spoon a generous portion of the veggie-cheese mixture onto half of each tortilla. Fold the other half over to create a half-moon shape.

        Cook the Quesadillas: Clean the skillet and return it to medium heat. Place the quesadilla in the skillet (you may need to work in batches). Cook for about 3-4 minutes on one side until golden brown and crispy. Carefully flip and cook the other side for an additional 3-4 minutes or until the cheese is melted and the tortilla is crispy.

          Slice and Serve: Once cooked, remove the quesadilla from the skillet and let it sit for a minute before slicing into wedges. Garnish with fresh cilantro if desired, and serve with sour cream or salsa on the side.
