- 1 cup cottage cheese
- 2 cups shredded cheese (cheddar or Mexican blend)
- 4 large flour tortillas

- Sauté the Vegetables: In the same skillet, add the sliced bell pepper and onion. Cook until softened, about 3-4 minutes.

- Cook the Quesadillas: Wipe the skillet clean and return it to medium heat. Cook each quesadilla for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and the cheese is melted.
