Grilled Mediterranean Veggie Quesadillas
🌱 Grilled Mediterranean Veggie Quesadillas 🌮
These Grilled Mediterranean Veggie Quesadillas are folded tortillas packed with zucchini, peppers, mushrooms, and red onion, then finished with a cool herb cream and vegan feta. No dairy. The outside gets those dark grill marks. The vegetables stay a little charred, not steamed.
I love cooking the vegetables first so the tortilla crisps instead of going soggy. Don’t overload the fold. A spoon of cream and a pinch of herbs on top is the whole finish. 💚

The Secret to a Crisp Fold
Cook the mushrooms and zucchini until they stop releasing water. A dry filling is what keeps the tortilla crisp. Oil the pan, not the vegetables, at the end. Press the fold with a spatula for a minute so it seals. Cream and herbs go on after, so they stay white.
Frequently Asked Questions ❓
Can I use a grill? 🔥
Yes. A grill pan or outdoor grill both work. Medium heat, 2–3 minutes per side.
What if I don’t have vegan feta? 🧀
Use a firm vegan mozzarella shred, or skip the cheese and lean on the herb cream.
How do I keep them from getting soggy? 🌮
Drain the cooked vegetables on a plate before they go in the tortilla.
