  • 1 medium zucchini, halved and sliced
  • 1 medium poblano pepper
  • 1 cup corn kernals
  • 1 ½ tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

For Quesadillas:

  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 6 large tortillas (about 10-inch diameter)
  • 1 ½ cups shredded pepper jack cheese
  • salsa, optional
  • sour cream, optional

Instructions

Prepare Roasted Vegetables:

  • Preheat oven to 450 degrees.
  • Place tomatoes, zucchini, poblano pepper, and corn on a large baking sheet.
  • Drizzle veggies with 1 ½ tbsp olive oil, then season with salt and pepper to taste. Mix well, making sure poblano is coated in oil.
  • Roast veggies for 15 minutes, then flip. Continue cooking vegetables for 10 to 15 minutes, or until tender and lightly browned on edges. Remove from oven.
  • Allow veggies to cool slightly, then remove seeds and charred, papery skin from the poblano pepper.
  • Chop the poblano pepper and mix it with the other roasted vegetables. Adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper, if desired.

Prepare Quesadillas:

  • Heat 1 tsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
  • Add a tortilla to the skillet. Top with ⅓ of the roasted veggies, then ½ cup cheese.
  • Cover cheese with another tortilla, then brush it with 1 tsp olive oil.
  • Cook quesadilla until browned on bottom, then flip and cook until browned on other side.
  • Repeat process with remaining ingredients, then cut quesadillas in wedges and serve with salsa and sour cream, if desired. Enjoy!
