Assemble the Quesadillas
On one half of each tortilla, spread a generous amount of shredded cheese. Add the sautéed vegetables and, if using, the shredded chicken on top of the cheese. Fold the tortillas over to create a half-moon shape.

In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil and heat over medium. 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. Remove from the skillet and cut into wedges.
