Step-by-Step Instructions for Healthy Cheesy Quesadilla
  1. Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium heat for about 2 minutes, then lightly spray with cooking spray or brush with olive oil.
  2. Place one whole wheat tortilla in the skillet and sprinkle a generous amount of low-fat cheese evenly across it. Layer with chopped vegetables.
  3. Place another tortilla on top of the filling, gently press down, and cook for about 3 minutes until the bottom tortilla is golden brown.
