Ingredients

Scale

4 large flour tortillas
2 cups shredded Monterey Jack and cheddar cheese blend
1 cup bell peppers, chopped (red or yellow)
1 medium sweet onion, chopped
1 cup zucchini, thinly sliced
2 tsp cumin
2 tsp chili powder
2 tbsp olive oil

Instructions

Prepare your ingredients by washing and chopping all vegetables into bite-sized pieces.
In a skillet over medium heat, add olive oil. Once hot, sauté bell peppers, onion, zucchini, cumin, and chili powder until tender (about 5-7 minutes).
Lay one tortilla in the skillet. Sprinkle half the cheese on top, add sautéed veggies, then finish with remaining cheese and another tortilla.
Cook for about 3-4 minutes until golden brown, then flip carefully and cook the other side until crispy and cheese is melted (another 3-4 minutes).
Transfer to a cutting board, slice into wedges, and serve hot with salsa or guacamole.
