Ingredients
  

4 large flour tortillas

1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

1 bell pepper (any color), diced

1 small zucchini, diced

1 cup mushrooms, sliced

1 cup fresh spinach, roughly chopped

1 small red onion, diced

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon cumin

1 teaspoon paprika

1 tablespoon olive oil

Salt and pepper to taste

Salsa and sour cream for serving

Instructions
 

Prep the Veggies: Begin by washing and chopping the bell pepper, zucchini, mushrooms, and red onion into small, bite-sized pieces.

    Sauté the Vegetables: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté for 2-3 minutes until translucent. Toss in the bell pepper, zucchini, and mushrooms, sautéing for an additional 5 minutes until they soften.

      Add Spinach and Seasoning: Stir in the chopped spinach and cook until wilted, about 2 minutes. Sprinkle in the garlic powder, cumin, paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix well and remove from heat.

        Assemble the Quesadillas: Lay one tortilla flat on a clean surface. Sprinkle a generous layer of mozzarella cheese, followed by two spoonfuls of the veggie mixture, and then top with shredded cheddar cheese. Place another tortilla on top to create a quesadilla. Repeat with the remaining filling and tortillas.

          Cook the Quesadillas: Wipe out the skillet and return it to medium heat. Carefully place one quesadilla in the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown and the cheese is melted. Repeat for the other quesadillas.

            Serve: Once cooked, transfer the quesadillas to a cutting board. Let them cool for a minute, then cut them into wedges. Serve with salsa and a dollop of sour cream.
