Ingredients & Equipment You’ll Need

• 8 tortillas

In this recipe, tortillas are our canvas! Cheese is the lines that bind our work of art together, while the colorful medley of bell peppers, onion, and zucchini give it some real character. Olive oil gives a sheen to the tortillas and helps in grilling the veggies to perfection. Keep an eye on the amount of salt, as too much can overpower the flavors of the vegetables.

How To Make Grilled Vegetable Quesadillas

1. Start by prepping your vegetables. Slice the peppers, onions, and zucchini into thin strips. Grate the cheese. Get your grill heated up and ready to go!
2. Add oil to the heated grill, followed by the sliced veggies. Add the salt. Grill until they are lightly charred and tender. Transfer them to a plate.
3. Place a tortilla on the grill. Top it with a layer of grated cheese, followed by the grilled veggies, and another layer of cheese. Cover it with another tortilla. Press it lightly.
4. When it’s brown and the cheese starts to melt, flip it over carefully with a flip spatula. Grill the other side until it’s browned and the cheese is bubbly. Repeat with the remaining tortillas and filling.
5. Cut the Grilled Vegetable Quesadilla into wedges, and serve hot with a side of salsa and guacamole.
