Vegetarian Quesadillas with Zucchini and Squash

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Vegetarian Quesadillas with Zucchini and Squash.

1. Step 1

   Start by spraying a nonstick skillet with cooking spray and warming it over medium heat.

2. Step 2

   Once the skillet is ready, toss in the sliced zucchini, yellow squash, and slivered onion.

3. Step 3

   Stir occasionally and let them cook for about five minutes, just until they begin to soften and release their delightful aromas.

   Next, add the finely chopped garlic to the mix and continue cooking for another two minutes, allowing the vegetables to become tender and infused with flavor.

   Now, let’s prepare the tortillas! Take four tortillas and spread a generous layer of refried beans—about a scant 1/4 cup—over each one.

6. Step 6

   Set aside the remaining four tortillas; they’ll be the tops of your delicious quesadillas.

   Spoon a quarter of the cooked vegetable mixture onto each bean-covered tortilla, then sprinkle two tablespoons of shredded Cheddar cheese on top of the veggies for that melty goodness.

8. Step 8

   Carefully place the reserved tortillas, bean-side down, over the filled ones to create your quesadillas.

9. Step 9

   To cook them, wipe the skillet with a paper towel and add two teaspoons of vegetable oil, heating it over low heat.

    Gently place one quesadilla in the skillet and let it cook for two to three minutes on each side, or until it turns a beautiful golden brown and is heated through.
