Ingredients
  

For the Quesadillas
  • 2 pieces Flour Tortillas Substitute with whole wheat or gluten-free tortillas for healthier options.
  • 1 cup Shredded Mozzarella or Provolone Cheese Can substitute with cheddar for a sharper flavor.
  • 1/2 cup Crumbled Feta Cheese May use goat cheese for a different flavor profile.
For the Vegetables
  • 1 small Zucchini Thinly sliced; substitute with yellow squash or additional bell peppers.
  • 1 small Red Bell Pepper Thinly sliced; green bell pepper can be used for a slightly bitter flavor.

For Flavor Enhancements
  • 1 tbsp Olive Oil For sautéing vegetables; any neutral oil can serve as a substitute.
  • 2 tbsp Sun-Dried Tomatoes Chopped; fresh tomatoes can be used, but reduce cooking time.

Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. Preheat a large skillet or grill pan over medium heat for about 2-3 minutes until hot.
  2. In a mixing bowl, toss zucchini, red bell pepper, and red onion with olive oil, salt, pepper, and dried oregano. Sauté for 3-4 minutes.
  3. Place one tortilla in the skillet, sprinkle half of the cheese, and layer with the sautéed vegetables, sun-dried tomatoes, Kalamata olives, and feta cheese.
  4. Carefully place the second tortilla over the filling and cook for 2-3 minutes until the bottom is golden brown. Flip and cook the other side for another 2-3 minutes.
  5. Remove quesadilla from skillet, let it rest for a minute, then slice into wedges to serve.
