1
Prepare the Vegetables
Slice the onion and bell peppers into thin strips.
2
Heat the Oil
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
3
Cook the Vegetables
Add the sliced onion and bell peppers to the skillet. Sprinkle with salt and black pepper. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes until the vegetables are softened and slightly caramelized. Remove from heat and set aside.

4
Layer the Quesadilla
Place one tortilla in the skillet. Sprinkle half of the shredded cheese evenly over the tortilla.
5
Add Vegetables
Evenly distribute half of the sautéed onion and pepper mixture over the cheese.
6
Top with Cheese
Sprinkle the remaining shredded cheese on top of the vegetables. Place a second tortilla over the top.

7
Cook the Quesadilla
Cook in the skillet for about 3-4 minutes until the bottom tortilla is golden brown and the cheese is beginning to melt.
8
Flip the Quesadilla
Carefully flip the quesadilla using a spatula. Cook for another 3-4 minutes on the other side until golden brown and the cheese is fully melted.
9
Slice and Serve
Remove the quesadilla from the skillet. Allow it to cool for a minute, then cut it into wedges. Serve warm with optional toppings such as sour cream, salsa, or guacamole.
