Ingredients

• 4 pieces Large flour tortillas
• 2 cups Shredded cheddar cheese
• 1.5 cups Bell peppers (red, yellow, green)
• 1 medium Red onion
• 1 medium Zucchini
• 2 cups Fresh spinach
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Cumin powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Chili powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.5 cup Sour cream (optional, for serving)
• 0.5 cup Salsa (optional, for serving)

Directions

Step 1

Prepare the vegetables: wash and dice the bell peppers, thinly slice the red onion, and chop the zucchini into small cubes.

Step 2

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the diced bell peppers, onion, and zucchini.

Step 3

Sauté the vegetables for 5-7 minutes, or until they are softened and slightly caramelized. Add the fresh spinach, cumin powder, chili powder, salt, and black pepper. Cook for an additional 2 minutes until the spinach wilts. Remove from heat.

Step 4

Lay a tortilla flat on a clean surface. Spread 1/4 of the shredded cheese across one half of the tortilla. Top with 1/4 of the cooked vegetable mixture, then sprinkle a little more cheese over the veggies. Fold the tortilla in half to create a half-moon shape. Repeat with the remaining tortillas and fillings.

Step 5

Heat a clean skillet over medium heat (no oil necessary). Place one folded tortilla in the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes on one side, or until golden brown and crispy. Flip gently and cook for another 2-3 minutes on the other side until the cheese melts completely.

Step 6

Remove the quesadilla from the skillet and transfer it to a cutting board. Let it rest for a minute before slicing into wedges. Repeat with the remaining quesadillas.

Step 7

Serve the veggie-filled quesadillas warm with sour cream and salsa on the side, if desired.
