Method

Preparation of Ingredients

  1. 1

    Chop the Vegetables

    Dice the mushrooms, bell pepper, carrot, squash, onion, zucchini, and tomato into small pieces. Make sure they are uniformly sized for even cooking.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Spinach and Cilantro

    Rinse the fresh spinach leaves under cold water and pat them dry. Chop the cilantro finely.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Sauté the Vegetables

    In a skillet over medium heat, add a splash of oil. Once hot, add the diced onion and sauté for 2 minutes until translucent. Add the mushrooms, bell pepper, carrot, squash, and zucchini. Cook for another 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are tender.

  2. 4

    Add Spinach and Corn

    Stir in the corn and fresh spinach, cooking for an additional 2-3 minutes until the spinach wilts. Add the chopped cilantro and stir to combine. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

  3. 5

    Assemble the Quesadilla

    In a separate large skillet or griddle, place the tortilla over medium heat. Sprinkle half of the Monterrey Jack cheese on one half of the tortilla. Spoon the sautéed veggie mixture over the cheese and top with the remaining cheese. Fold the tortilla in half.

  4. 6

    Cook the Quesadilla

    Cook for about 3-4 minutes on one side until the bottom is golden brown and crispy. Carefully flip the quesadilla using a spatula and cook for another 3-4 minutes until the other side is golden brown and the cheese is melted.

Serving

  1. 7

    Plate the Quesadilla

    Remove the quesadilla from the skillet and let it cool for a minute before slicing it into wedges.

  2. 8

    Serve with Sides

    Serve the quesadilla hot with guacamole, sour cream, pico de gallo, and black beans on the side.
