Ingredients
  

2 medium zucchinis, grated

1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or a Mexican blend)

4 large flour tortillas

3 large eggs

1/4 cup milk

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

1/2 teaspoon onion powder

Salt and pepper, to taste

1 tablespoon olive oil

Fresh cilantro, chopped (for garnish)

Salsa or avocado, for serving

Instructions
 

Prepare the Zucchini: Grate the zucchinis using a box grater or food processor. Place them in a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth and squeeze out excess moisture. This step is important to prevent soggy quesadillas.

    Make the Egg Mixture: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper until well combined.

      Cook the Zucchini: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the grated zucchini and sauté for about 3-4 minutes until slightly tender. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.

        Combine Ingredients: In the same bowl as the egg mixture, add the sautéed zucchini and half of the shredded cheese. Mix until everything is evenly combined.

          Assemble the Quesadillas: Place a tortilla in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Spoon a quarter of the zucchini and egg mixture onto one half of the tortilla. Sprinkle with some of the remaining cheese and fold the other half over the top. Cook for about 2-3 minutes, or until the bottom is golden brown.

            Flip and Cook: Carefully flip the quesadilla using a spatula and cook the other side for another 2-3 minutes until golden and the cheese is melted. Repeat the process with the remaining tortillas and filling.

              Serve: Slice the quesadillas into wedges and garnish with fresh cilantro. Serve hot with salsa or avocado on the side.
