Ingredients

 Salad oil2 Tablespoon
 1 medium size onion, finely chopped
 Jalapeno2 Teaspoon, minced
 Zucchini1 Cup (16 tbs), finely chopped
 8 nine inch Whole Wheat Tortillas or Flour Tortillas with Sesame Seeds, or purchased flour tortillas
 2 1/2 to 3 cups shredded jack or mild Cheddar cheese
 2 medium size tomatoes, thinly sliced
 Guacamole1 1/2 Cup (16 tbs)

Directions

Heat oil in a wide frying pan over medium heat.
Add onion and chiles and cook, stirring, until onion is soft.
Stir in zucchini and cook, stirring, until zucchini is bright green and tender crisp.
With a slotted spoon, transfer zucchini mixture to a bowl.
If necessary, use a paper towel to blot excess oil—pan should have just enough to keep tortillas from sticking.
Place a tortilla in pan over medium heat to soften.
Turn over; place about 1/3 cup of the cheese and about 2 tablespoons of the vegetable mixture on half of the tortilla.
Fold the other half over filling and cook until cheese is melted and bottom of tortilla is lightly browned.
Turn carefully and cook until other side is lightly browned.
Remove from pan and keep warm while assembling and cooking remaining quesadillas.
Just before serving, spread each tomato slice with guacamole.
Carefully open quesadillas and insert 2 or 3 guacamole topped tomato slices in each.
