Directions: 

  • Heat grill to medium-high heat (or grill pan if you don't have an outdoor grill).
  • Make sure that the grates are clean.
  • Wash all the vegetables and slice them.
  • Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt & pepper on a baking sheet in a single layer.
  • Place all the vegetables on the grill and place them cross-sectionally across the grill so that they don't break.
  • Grill each side for 3 to 5 minutes until the vegetables are tender.
  • Watch for them to char and get grill marks on the bottom before turning to cook the other side, as the vegetables cook at different rates.  
  • Usually, the asparagus cooks the earliest, and somewhere in between the onions take the longest along with the peppers and mushrooms.
  • Move vegetables from the grill to a plate as they finish cooking. Then cut each vegetable into pieces that are roughly bite-sized.
  • Heat to medium-high heat a griddle or pan.
  • Assemble each quesadilla by equally dividing the vegetables and cheese between the tortillas. Instead of putting on a plate and moving the whole thing, OR to avoid the fillings from falling out, it is easier to do this step in the hot pan. Place a tortilla on it and put some of the cheese and vegetables. Lightly oil or butter the griddle or pan and sprinkle on a little cilantro with cheese on half of each tortilla. Fold it and cook for 3 minutes. 
  • It must be crispy, and the cheese must be melted. 
  • Once done, serve it with sour cream
