- Divide the vegetable and bean mixture evenly between the two tortillas, spreading it over the cheese.

- Top each quesadilla with another flour tortilla to form a sandwich.
- In a large non-stick skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat.
- Carefully transfer one quesadilla to the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the tortilla is golden brown and the cheese is melted.
- Repeat with the remaining quesadilla, adding another tablespoon of olive oil to the skillet before cooking.
