1 tablespoon olive oil

Instructions

Follow these easy steps to whip up your quesadillas:

Prepare the Filling

In a pan, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the bell pepper and zucchini, sautéing for about 5 minutes until softened. Stir in the corn, taco seasoning, salt, and pepper.

Cook for another 2-3 minutes.

Assemble the Quesadillas

On one half of each tortilla, layer the cheese and the veggie mixture. Fold the tortilla over to create a half-moon shape.

Cook the Quesadillas

In the same pan, place the folded quesadillas and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and the cheese is melted.

Serve

Cut the quesadillas into wedges and serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce.

Enjoy your delicious and easy One-Pan Veggie Quesadillas!

Tips for the Best Quesadillas

For perfectly crispy quesadillas, make sure your pan is hot enough before adding the folded tortillas. A medium-high heat will help achieve that golden-brown exterior while ensuring the cheese melts to a gooey perfection. Additionally, avoid overloading the tortillas with filling, as this can make them difficult to flip and lead to a soggy texture.

Experiment with different types of cheese for unique flavor profiles. While cheddar and mozzarella are classics, consider using pepper jack for a spicy kick or a blend of cheeses for added depth. Don't hesitate to add herbs and spices to the veggie mixture for an extra layer of flavor!

Serving Suggestions

These quesadillas are delicious on their own, but you can elevate the meal by adding sides or toppings. Consider serving them with a fresh side salad or some black bean and corn salsa for a refreshing contrast. You can also provide a variety of dipping sauces, such as spicy salsa, creamy guacamole, or zesty sour cream, to cater to different taste preferences.

Leftovers? No problem! These quesadillas reheat wonderfully in a skillet or microwave, making them a convenient option for lunch the next day. Just remember to store them in an airtight container to maintain their crispiness and flavor.
