• 5. Place a flour tortilla onto a griddle or skillet. Start building your quesadilla by adding as much or as little of the ingredients as you like. First, add the caramelized onion.
• 6. Add some of the squash and top with crumbled goat cheese. Add a sprinkle of monterey jack cheese. Fold tortilla over in half and brown both sides, allowing cheeses to melt.
