• Heat a skillet to medium-high and add enough oil to lightly coat the surface.
• Place one large flour tortilla on the hot skillet and sprinkle desired amount of mozarella cheese (I use about 1/4 to 1/3 cup per quesadilla) over the whole tortilla. Cook for about 30 seconds to 1 minute, or until cheese is mostly melted.
• Layer a generous amount of vegetables over half of the tortilla, then fold tortilla in half. continue cooking until tortilla reaches desired level of crisp. Transfer to a cutting board and chop into pieces. Repeat for remaining ingredients.

Steps:

• In a large bowl, toss the vegetables with a little olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Grill on medium-high for about 8 minutes, until tender. Or in a large saute pan with a little olive or vegetable oil over medium-high heat, saute vegetables until tender. Set aside.
• Lay the tortilla flat, and on the bottom half only, evenly lay 1/4 of the veggies, a sprinkle of beans if using, and four or five strips of meat. Sprinkle 1/4 of the cheese (approx. 1/3 cup) over the filling ingredients.
• Carefully fold the top half over so the quesadilla is a half-moon shape.
• Place the quesadilla in a panini press and cook until cheese is melted and outside is golden-crisp, or cook in a saute pan drizzled with vegetable, canola, or olive oil over medium-high heat, carefully flipping occasionally, until the cheese is melted and both sides are golden-brown.
• Serve with salsa, pico de gallo, sour cream, avocado, and or guacamole as condiments.
