Ingredients

• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• ½ cup chopped red bell pepper
• ½ cup chopped mushrooms
• ½ cup chopped red onion
• cooking spray
• ½ cup chopped zucchini
• ½ cup chopped yellow squash
• 6 (9 inch) whole wheat tortillas

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

In a large nonstick pan, cook red pepper, zucchini, yellow squash, onion, and mushrooms in olive oil over medium to medium-high heat for about 7 minutes, or until just tender. Remove vegetables from pan.

Step 2

Coat the same pan with cooking spray, and place one tortilla in pan. Sprinkle 1/4 cup of cheese evenly over tortilla, and layer 3/4 cup of the vegetable mixture over the cheese. Sprinkle another 1/8 cup of cheese on the vegetables, and top with a second tortilla. Cook until golden on both sides, for approximately 2 to 3 minutes per side. Remove quesadilla from pan, and repeat with remaining ingredients. Cut each quesadilla into 8 triangles with a pizza cutter. Serve hot.
