- Season the vegetable mixture with salt and pepper to taste. Remove the mixture from the skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, place a tortilla and sprinkle half of it with shredded cheese.
- Top the cheese with a portion of the vegetable mixture, then fold the tortilla over to create a half-moon shape.
- 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.
- Repeat this process with the remaining tortillas and filling.
- Cut the quesadillas into wedges and serve warm with a generous dollop of sour cream and a side of fresh salsa.
