2 green bell peppers, julienned
1 -3 jalapeno, seeded and julienned
1 onion, cut into thin slivers
1 tablespoon olive oil

  • Grill each quesadilla until cheese is melted and tortilla is lightly toasted (about 4 minutes).

  • Remove from grill and keep warm.
  • Repeat with remaining quesadillas (how many you can cook at once is dependant on the size of your grill).
  • Cut warm quesadillas into wedges and serve immediately.
