Ingredients
  

2 large whole wheat tortillas

1 cup bell peppers (assorted colors), sliced

1 medium zucchini, sliced

1 cup mushrooms, sliced

1 small red onion, sliced

1 cup corn (fresh or frozen)

1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, jack, or a Mexican blend)

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 teaspoon chili powder

1 teaspoon cumin

Salt and pepper to taste

Fresh cilantro, chopped (for garnish)

Sour cream or Greek yogurt (for serving)

Salsa (for serving)

Instructions
 

Prep the Vegetables: In a large mixing bowl, combine the sliced bell peppers, zucchini, mushrooms, onion, and corn. Add olive oil, chili powder, cumin, salt, and pepper. Toss until the veggies are evenly coated.

    Grill the Veggies: Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Place the vegetable mixture on the grill and cook for about 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until tender and slightly charred. Remove from heat and let cool for a few minutes.

      Assemble the Quesadillas: Lay one tortilla flat on a clean surface. Sprinkle half the cheese evenly over one side of the tortilla. Top with half of the grilled vegetable mixture, and sprinkle the remaining cheese over the veggies. Fold the tortilla in half, pressing gently to seal.

        Grill the Quesadillas: Heat a clean grill or skillet over medium heat. Place the folded quesadilla on the grill and cook for about 3-4 minutes per side, until golden brown and the cheese has melted. Repeat with the second tortilla.

          Slice and Serve: Remove from heat and let the quesadillas sit for a minute before slicing them into wedges. Garnish with fresh cilantro.

            Serve: Serve warm with sour cream or Greek yogurt and your favorite salsa on the side.
