Ingredients

Scale

Vegetables

  • 1 small zucchini, thinly sliced
  • 1 small red bell pepper, sliced
  • ½ red onion, thinly sliced
  • 1 cup mushrooms, sliced
  • 2 tbsp olive oil, divided
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • ½ tsp dried oregano

Quesadillas

  • 4 large flour or whole wheat tortillas
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella or provolone cheese
  • ½ cup crumbled feta cheese
  • Optional: 2 tbsp fresh chopped parsley or basil

Optional Dipping Sauce

  • ½ cup Greek yogurt or tzatziki

Instructions

  1. Grill Vegetables: Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the zucchini, red bell pepper, red onion, and mushrooms along with the dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Sauté the vegetables for 5 to 7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are tender and slightly charred. Remove from heat and set aside.
  2. Assemble Quesadillas: Lay out the tortillas on a clean surface. Evenly sprinkle the shredded mozzarella or provolone cheese over half of each tortilla. Top the cheese with the grilled vegetables and then crumbled feta cheese. Fold the tortillas over to create a half-moon shape.
  3. Cook Quesadillas: Heat the remaining tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Carefully place each quesadilla in the skillet and cook for 3 to 4 minutes on each side, until the tortillas are golden brown and the cheese inside has melted. Use a spatula to flip gently.
  4. Serve: Remove the quesadillas from the skillet. Slice each into wedges, sprinkle with fresh chopped parsley or basil if using, and serve warm with a side of Greek yogurt or tzatziki for dipping.

Notes

  • You can substitute the flour tortillas with whole wheat or gluten-free tortillas if preferred.
  • For a spicier version, add a pinch of crushed red pepper flakes when grilling the vegetables.
  • Vegetables can be pre-grilled on a barbecue grill for added smoky flavor.
  • Tortillas should be fresh and pliable to avoid cracking when folding.
  • Leftover quesadillas can be reheated in a skillet or oven to maintain crispiness.
