Ingredients
  

For the Quesadilla Pockets:

8 small flour or whole wheat tortillas

1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or a Mexican blend)

For the Grilled Veggies:

1 small zucchini, diced

1 bell pepper (red, yellow, or green), diced

1 cup mushrooms, sliced

1 small red onion, diced

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon cumin

Salt and pepper to taste

For Assembly:

1 cup fresh spinach or arugula

Optional: sour cream or salsa for dipping

Instructions
 

Prepare the Grilled Veggies:

    - In a large mixing bowl, combine the diced zucchini, bell pepper, mushrooms, and red onion.

      - Drizzle with olive oil, and sprinkle garlic powder, cumin, salt, and pepper. Toss until the veggies are evenly coated.

        Grill the Veggies:

          - Preheat a grill pan or outdoor grill over medium heat.

            - Add the seasoned veggies and grill for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are tender and slightly charred. Remove from heat and set aside to cool slightly.

              Assemble the Quesadilla Pockets:

                - Lay out four tortillas on a clean surface. Layer each with a generous amount of grilled veggies, a handful of fresh spinach or arugula, and a sprinkle of shredded cheese.

                  - Top each with another tortilla, pressing down gently.

                    Grill the Quesadilla Pockets:

                      - Wipe the grill pan with a little olive oil to prevent sticking, then set it over medium heat.

                        - Carefully place the assembled quesadillas on the grill pan. Cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until the tortillas are golden and crispy, and the cheese has melted. If desired, press down with a spatula for extra crispiness.

                          Serve:

                            - Remove the quesadilla pockets from the grill and let cool for a minute. Cut each pocket into quarters or halves for easy serving.

                              - Serve warm, with sour cream or salsa on the side for dipping.
