Ingredients
  

4 large whole wheat tortillas

1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

1 cup chopped bell peppers (red, green, and yellow)

1 cup fresh spinach, chopped

1 small zucchini, diced

1/2 cup corn (fresh or frozen)

1 small onion, finely chopped

1 clove garlic, minced

1 teaspoon ground cumin

1 teaspoon paprika

Salt and pepper to taste

2 tablespoons olive oil

Sour cream or guacamole for serving (optional)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Vegetable Filling: In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, sautéing until the onions become translucent (about 3-4 minutes).

    Add Vegetables: Stir in the chopped bell peppers, zucchini, corn, and spinach. Add the ground cumin, paprika, salt, and pepper. Cook until the vegetables are tender, approximately 5-7 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.

      Assemble Quesadillas: On one half of each tortilla, sprinkle a generous layer of shredded cheddar and mozzarella cheese. Top with a portion of the vegetable mixture, then add another sprinkle of cheese on top before folding the tortilla over.

        Cook Quesadillas: Wipe the skillet clean and return it to medium heat. Lightly grease with a little more olive oil if necessary. Place the folded quesadilla in the skillet and cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the tortilla is golden brown and the cheese has melted. Repeat with the remaining tortillas.

          Slice and Serve: Once cooked, remove the quesadillas from the skillet and let cool for a minute. Slice into wedges and serve with sour cream or guacamole if desired.
