Grilled Cumin-Lime Zucchini Quesadilla
This zucchini and mozzarella quesadilla is a delightful twist on the classic Mexican dish. The zucchini is marinated in a flavorful blend of spices and citrus, adding a fresh and vibrant element to the dish. Grilled to perfection, the tortilla becomes crisp and golden, encasing the gooey melted mozzarella with the tender zucchini strips. A dollop of tangy Greek yogurt mixed with lime juice and cilantro pairs perfectly with the savory quesadilla, creating a harmonious balance of flavors.
