Ingredients

  • 1 large red bell pepper, sliced
  • 1 large yellow bell pepper, sliced
  • 1 medium zucchini, sliced
  • 1 medium red onion, thinly sliced
  • 2 cups fresh spinach
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 4 whole wheat tortillas
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • to taste salt and pepper
  • for garnish fresh cilantro, chopped
  • for serving sour cream or guacamole

Instructions

  1. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced bell peppers and red onion. Sauté for about 5 minutes until they begin to soften.
  2. Toss in the sliced zucchini and fresh spinach. Add the garlic powder, cumin, salt, and pepper. Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until the spinach is wilted and the zucchini is tender. Remove from heat and set aside.
  3. Heat a separate non-stick skillet over medium heat. Place one tortilla in the skillet, and sprinkle half of the mozzarella and cheddar cheeses evenly on one half of the tortilla. Top with half of the sautéed vegetable mixture, and fold the tortilla over to cover the filling.
  4. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on one side until golden and crispy. Flip the quesadilla and cook the other side for another 3-4 minutes until the cheese is melted and the tortilla is crispy. Remove from the skillet and repeat the process with the second tortilla and remaining ingredients.
  5. Carefully slice the quesadillas into wedges. Serve warm, garnished with fresh cilantro, and accompanied by sour cream or guacamole on the side for dipping.
