Ingredients

  • 1 small zucchini diagonally sliced into ¼ inch pieces
  • 1 small summer squash diagonally sliced into ¼ inch pieces
  • 1 red bell pepper stem and seeds removed
  • 1 small red onion sliced into ¼ inch rounds
  • 1 large Portobello mushroom cleaned and sliced into ½ inch pieces

Instructions

  • Start by preparing your vegetables. Drizzle the sliced vegetables with 2 tbsp olive oil and season with salt and white pepper.
  • Place vegetables on the grill (or in a grill pan) and cook for approximately 3 minutes on each side or until just tender.
  • Remove the vegetables from the grill and let cool for 5 minutes. Cut the grilled vegetables into roughly 1-inch pieces and set aside.
  • To assemble each quesadilla: Spread a tortilla with 1 tablespoon pesto. Sprinkle ¼ cup mozzarella cheese on ½ of the tortilla. Add ¼ of the grilled vegetables and crumble 1 oz of goat cheese over them. Sprinkle another ¼ cup mozzarella on top and fold the tortilla over to close.
  • Place the quesadilla on a lightly oiled grill (or grill pan) and cook for 3 minutes on each side until the cheese in fully melted. Slice and serve the classiest quesadillas ever.
