- 1 red onion, sliced
- 8 ounces fresh spinach
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

- 1 cup crumbled feta cheese
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
Other Ingredients
- 4 large whole wheat tortillas
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon dried basil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
Instructions
- Preheat the Grill: Preheat the grill to medium heat to prepare for grilling the vegetables.
- Season the Vegetables: In a large bowl, combine sliced zucchini, red bell pepper, and red onion. Drizzle with olive oil, season with salt, pepper, dried oregano, and basil. Toss well to coat all vegetables evenly.
- Grill the Vegetables: Place the seasoned vegetables on the preheated grill and cook for 5-7 minutes until tender and nicely charred with grill marks. Remove from grill and set aside.
- Sauté the Spinach and Garlic: Heat a little olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, then add spinach and cook until wilted. Remove from heat.
- Assemble the Quesadillas: Lay tortillas flat. On half of each tortilla, layer grilled vegetables, sautéed spinach, halved cherry tomatoes, crumbled feta, and shredded mozzarella. Fold the tortillas in half to enclose the filling.
- Grill Quesadillas: Place the assembled quesadillas back on the grill. Cook each side for 3-4 minutes until tortillas are golden brown and the cheese inside is melted.
- Serve: Remove quesadillas from the grill, let them cool slightly, then cut into wedges and serve warm.
