  3. Place one tortilla in the skillet and sprinkle half of the shredded mozzarella cheese over it. Layer the sautéed vegetable mix, sun-dried tomatoes, kalamata olives, crumbled feta cheese, and any optional greens.
  4. Top with the remaining mozzarella cheese and place a second tortilla over the top. Press down slightly.
  5. Cook for about 2-3 minutes on one side until golden brown, then flip and repeat on the other side for another 2-3 minutes.
  6. Remove from skillet, allow to cool slightly, and slice into wedges for serving.
