Ingredients
  

For the Quesadillas
  • 10 pieces flour tortillas
  • 2 cups grated mozzarella cheese
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
For the Mediterranean Veggies
  • 1 large red bell pepper sliced
  • 1 medium zucchini sliced
  • 0.5 medium red onion sliced
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes halved
  • 0.5 cup feta cheese crumbled
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 0.5 teaspoon salt
  • 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
For Serving (Optional)
  • 1 cup Greek yogurt
  • 2 tablespoons fresh dill chopped

Equipment

  • large bowl
  • grill or grill pan
  • large skillet or griddle

Method
 

Prepare the Vegetables
  1. In a large bowl, combine the sliced red bell pepper, zucchini, red onion, and halved cherry tomatoes.
  2. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, sprinkle with oregano, salt, and black pepper, then toss to coat evenly.
Grill the Vegetables
  1. Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Grill the seasoned vegetables for 5-7 minutes until tender-crisp and slightly charred.
  2. Remove from heat and set aside.
Assemble the Quesadillas
  1. Lay out 5 tortillas on a clean surface. Sprinkle half of each tortilla with an even layer of mozzarella cheese.
  2. Distribute the grilled Mediterranean vegetables over the mozzarella cheese, then sprinkle with crumbled feta cheese.
  3. Fold the other half of each tortilla over the filling to create a half-moon shape.
Cook the Quesadillas
  1. Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet or on a griddle over medium heat.
  2. Cook the quesadillas in batches for 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Serve
  1. Cut each quesadilla into wedges. If desired, whisk together Greek yogurt and chopped fresh dill for a quick dipping sauce.
  2. Serve immediately with the dill yogurt dip.

Notes

For extra flavor, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the vegetables before grilling. These quesadillas can be made ahead and reheated in a pan or oven. Adjust the amount of cheese and vegetables to your preference. Also, consider using whole wheat tortillas for a healthier option.
