How to Make Veggie & Cheese Quesadilla Dinner
Warm up 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat until it shimmers.
Add the diced onion and bell pepper to the skillet. Cook for about 5 minutes, stirring regularly, until the vegetables are soft and the onion turns translucent.
Toss in 1 cup of chopped spinach, cooking for an additional 2 minutes until it wilts down.
Sprinkle a pinch of salt and pepper over the veggie mixture, stirring to combine.
Place one flour tortilla in the skillet. On one half, layer some of the sautéed veggie mixture and sprinkle ¼ cup of shredded cheese on top.
Carefully fold the tortilla in half, pressing gently. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side or until it turns golden brown and the cheese is melty.
Continue the process with the remaining tortillas and filling, creating as many delicious quesadillas as you like.
Once all quesadillas are cooked, cut them into wedges and serve hot.
Optional: Serve with salsa or sour cream for an extra kick!
