Assemble the Quesadillas
On one half of each tortilla, sprinkle a generous amount of shredded cheese, followed by the protein and vegetable mixture. Top with another layer of cheese and then fold the tortilla over to create a half-moon shape.

Cook the Quesadillas
In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil and heat over medium heat. Place the folded quesadillas in the skillet and cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the tortillas are golden brown and the cheese is melted.

Serve
Remove the quesadillas from the skillet, let them cool for a minute, then cut into wedges. Serve warm with sour cream and salsa on the side.
