Instructions
- In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat.
- Add the diced red and yellow bell peppers, red onion, zucchini, and sliced mushrooms. Sauté until the vegetables are tender, about 5-7 minutes.
- Stir in the fresh spinach and cook until wilted, about 1-2 minutes.
- 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.
Tips
- For added flavor, consider adding spices like cumin or chili powder to the vegetable mixture.
- Feel free to customize the filling by adding black beans or corn for an extra protein boost.
- Experiment with different types of cheese, such as pepper jack for a spicy kick or mozzarella for a milder flavor.
