Ingredients:
– 2 medium zucchinis, diced
– 1 cup corn kernels (fresh or frozen)
– 1 small onion, finely chopped
– 1 red bell pepper, diced
– 1 teaspoon chili powder
– 1/2 teaspoon cumin
– Salt and pepper to taste
– 1 cup shredded Monterey Jack or cheddar cheese
– 4 large flour tortillas
– Cooking spray

Instructions:
1. In a large skillet, heat some cooking spray over medium heat. Add the diced zucchinis, corn, onion, and red bell pepper to the skillet. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are tender, about 5-7 minutes.

2. Sprinkle the chili powder, cumin, salt, and pepper over the vegetable mixture. Stir well to combine and let the flavors meld for another 2-3 minutes. Remove the skillet from heat and set aside.

3. Place a large skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly spray the surface with cooking spray.

4. Lay a flour tortilla flat on the skillet. Spread a generous amount of the vegetable mixture over half of the tortilla. Sprinkle a handful of shredded cheese on top of the vegetables. Fold the empty half of the tortilla over the filling, creating a semi-circle shape.

5. Cook the quesadilla for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until the tortilla is golden brown and the cheese is melted. Use a spatula to carefully flip the quesadilla over to cook the other side.

6. Once both sides are crispy and the cheese is oozy, transfer the quesadilla to a cutting board. Let it rest for a minute before slicing it into wedges.

7. Repeat the process with the remaining tortillas and filling until all the quesadillas are cooked.
