- 1/2 cup bell peppers, diced
- 1/2 cup onion, diced
- 1 tablespoon olive oil

Instructions
- Sauté the veggies: Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the diced onion and bell peppers, and sauté until soft, about 5 minutes.

- Grill the quesadilla: Fold the tortilla in half and cook until golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes on each side.
- Cut and serve: Remove from the skillet, cut into wedges, and serve with sour cream and salsa.
Notes
For an extra crunchy finish, lightly spray the tortillas with cooking spray or brush them with more olive oil before crisping them in the skillet. Feel free to experiment with different ingredients and spices.
