Servings: 4

Ingredients

  • Olive oil (2 tablespoons)
  • Red bell pepper (1, diced)
  • Yellow bell pepper (1, diced)
  • Red onion (1, diced)
  • Zucchini (1, diced)
  • Mushrooms (1 cup, sliced)
  • Fresh spinach (2 cups, packed)
  • Shredded cheese (cheddar or Monterey Jack) (2 cups)
  • Flour or corn tortillas (4 large)
  • Salt (to taste)
  • Black pepper (to taste)
  • Sour cream (1 cup (for serving))
  • Fresh Salsa (1 cup (for serving))

Instructions

  1. In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat.
  2. Add the diced red and yellow bell peppers, red onion, zucchini, and sliced mushrooms. Sauté until the vegetables are tender, about 5-7 minutes.
  3. Stir in the fresh spinach and cook until wilted, about 1-2 minutes.
  4. Season the vegetable mixture with salt and pepper to taste. Remove the mixture from the skillet and set aside.
  5. In the same skillet, place a tortilla and sprinkle half of it with shredded cheese.
  6. Top the cheese with a portion of the vegetable mixture, then fold the tortilla over to create a half-moon shape.
  7. Cook until the bottom tortilla is golden brown, about 3-4 minutes, then carefully flip and cook the other side until golden brown and the cheese is melted, about another 3-4 minutes.
  8. Repeat this process with the remaining tortillas and filling.
  9. Cut the quesadillas into wedges and serve warm with a generous dollop of sour cream and a side of fresh salsa.
