Ingredients
  

6 small whole wheat tortillas

1 cup shredded cheese (choose either cheddar or Monterey Jack for a creamy texture)

1 cup assorted bell peppers, diced (for a vibrant mix, include red, green, and yellow)

1 small zucchini, finely grated

1/2 cup corn kernels (can use fresh or frozen for convenience)

1/2 cup black beans, rinsed and drained

1/4 cup red onion, finely chopped

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon ground cumin

Salt and pepper to taste

2 tablespoons olive oil (divided)

Fresh cilantro, chopped (for garnish)

Sour cream or Greek yogurt (for serving)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Filling: In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the diced bell peppers, grated zucchini, corn kernels, black beans, and finely chopped red onion. Sprinkle in the garlic powder and ground cumin, then season with salt and pepper. Stir the mixture well until all ingredients are evenly blended.

    Assemble the Quesadillas: Place a tortilla flat on a clean, dry surface. Evenly sprinkle about 2 tablespoons of shredded cheese across one half of the tortilla. Spoon 2-3 tablespoons of the prepared veggie filling over the cheese. Carefully fold the tortilla over to form a half-moon shape, gently pressing down to seal the edges. Repeat this process with the remaining tortillas and filling until all quesadillas are assembled.

      Cook the Quesadilla Pockets: In a non-stick skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat until shimmering. Once hot, carefully place 2 or 3 quesadilla pockets in the skillet (depending on the size of your skillet). Cook for approximately 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the tortillas are golden brown and crispy, and the cheese has melted completely. Transfer the cooked quesadillas to a plate to cool slightly. Add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil to the skillet if needed and continue cooking the rest of the quesadilla pockets.

        Serve: Using a sharp knife, cut each quesadilla pocket into wedges for easy serving. Arrange the wedges neatly on a serving platter and sprinkle with freshly chopped cilantro for a burst of color. Serve alongside sour cream or Greek yogurt for a creamy, tangy dipping option.
