Servings 3 quesadillas
Prep Time 15 minutes
Cook Time 12 minutes
Total Time 27 minutes

Equipment

  • Cast iron skillet
  • Tongs
  • Knife
  • Cutting board

Ingredients

  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 medium red bell pepper sliced
  • 1 small zucchini sliced
  • 1 small red onion sliced
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 6 pieces flour tortillas
  • 4 oz goat cheese crumbled
  • 1/4 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese

Instructions

  • Heat olive oil in cast iron skillet over hot campfire.
  • Add bell pepper, zucchini, and onion. Cook, stirring, until softened and edges are charred, about 6 minutes. Season with salt and pepper and transfer to a plate.
  • Wipe skillet clean. Lay out 3 tortillas, divide veggies and goat cheese evenly, sprinkle with Monterey Jack, and top each with another tortilla.
  • Return one quesadilla at a time to skillet and cook 2–3 minutes per side until golden and crisp.
  • Slice and serve hot.

Notes

Char veggies directly over coals for smoky flavor before assembling. Use a foil tent if cheese needs extra time to melt. Keep finished quesadillas warm in foil near the fire.
