Whole Wheat Veggie Quesadillas

Ingredients

  • 2 whole wheat tortillas (10 inch)
  • 1 1/2 cups diced baby zucchini
  • 1 cup chopped broccoli
  • 1 cup diced red bell pepper
  • 1/2 cup chopped yellow onion
  • 1 cup shredded carrots
  • 1/2 cup shredded low-fat cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 teaspoon shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese
  • cooking spray

Method

  1. 1 Wash and chop the zucchini, broccoli, bell pepper, onion, and carrots.
  2. 2 Heat a medium skillet over medium-high heat with cooking spray. Sauté vegetables for 4-5 minutes until tender-crisp, then remove from pan.
  3. 3 Spray skillet again. Place one tortilla in the pan. Sprinkle half the cheese, then half the vegetables, then the remaining cheese on one half of the tortilla.
  4. 4 Fold the tortilla over the filling. Cook for 4-6 minutes until the bottom is browned and cheese begins to melt.
  5. 5 Carefully flip the quesadilla. Cook for 4 minutes until the other side is browned and cheese is melted. Alternatively, cover the pan to melt cheese without flipping.
  6. 6 Transfer to a cutting board, cut into triangles, and serve immediately.
