Instructions
Heat one tablespoon of oil or butter in a large non-stick pan.
Add the onion and garlic to the pan; saute 3-5 minutes until soft.
Stir in the bell pepper, broccoli, and tomato, cooking for another 3-4 minutes. Add in any desired spices at this time.
Preheat the oven to 450 degrees.
Begin making the quesadillas: On a plate, lay one tortilla.
Brush one side of it with melted butter or coconut oil (you could also just spray it with oil, if available).
Place the tortilla, oil side down, onto a baking sheet.
Sprinkle with 1/4 cup of cheese.
Top with veggie mixture and another 1/4 cup of cheese.
Place another tortilla on top of the cheese.
Brush the top with a bit of butter, oil, or spray.
Repeat the process with the remaining ingredients to create your second quesadilla.
Bake the quesadillas for 7-10 minutes, until tops are golden brown.
Enjoy!
