Ingredients

  • 2 teaspoons canola oil

  • ¼ cup chopped onion

  • ¼ cup diced red bell pepper

  • ¼ cup diced zucchini

  • 2 ounces shredded cooked chicken

  • 2 tablespoons fresh or (rinsed) frozen corn kernels

  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro, optional

  • 1 8-inch whole-wheat tortilla

  • 3 tablespoons shredded pepper Jack cheese

Directions

  1. Heat oil in a medium skillet over medium heat. Add onion, bell pepper, and zucchini; cook, stirring often, until the vegetables are tender, 3 to 4 minutes. Add chicken and corn; cook until heated through, about 1 minute. Stir in cilantro, if using. Transfer the vegetables to a small bowl. Wash and dry the skillet.

  2. Place tortilla on a cutting board. Sprinkle 1 Tbsp. cheese over half the tortilla, leaving a 1/2-inch border. Top with the vegetable mixture and the remaining 2 Tbsp. cheese; fold the tortilla in half.

  3. Heat the skillet over medium heat. Add the quesadilla and cook until the tortilla is browned and the cheese has started to melt, about 2 minutes per side. Cut into 3 wedges to serve.
