When I first made these quesadillas for a Super Bowl party, I was amazed at how quickly they disappeared. I decided to use a variety of colorful vegetables, which not only made them visually appealing but also packed in a range of flavors and nutrients. The trick I discovered was to sauté the veggies beforehand, enhancing their sweetness and ensuring they wouldn’t release too much moisture when cooked with the cheese.

These quesadillas have become my go-to appetizer since then. I love experimenting with different cheeses too! A mix of sharp cheddar and creamy mozzarella creates a perfect balance of flavors, while herbs like cilantro add a refreshing touch. Serving them with avocado salsa or sour cream can elevate the experience even further.

Instructions

Prep the Vegetables

In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced bell pepper, zucchini, onion, and spinach. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes until the vegetables are tender. Season with salt and pepper.

Assemble the Quesadillas

On one half of each tortilla, layer a mix of the sautéed veggies and both cheeses. Fold the tortilla over to create a half-moon shape.

Cook the Quesadillas

Wipe the skillet clean and return it to medium heat. Cook each quesadilla for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown and the cheese is melted. Cut into wedges.

Serve Warm

Serve the quesadillas hot with avocado salsa or sour cream for dipping.

Enjoy these delightful quesadillas while watching the game!
