- 1/2 cup chopped onions
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions
- Prepare your vegetables by chopping the bell peppers, onions, and spinach into bite-sized pieces.
- In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat and sauté the chopped bell peppers and onions for about 5 minutes until softened. Add spinach, oregano, garlic powder, salt, and pepper; cook until spinach is wilted.
- Assemble the quesadillas by spreading ricotta cheese on one half of a tortilla, topping it with the sautéed vegetable mix and shredded mozzarella, then folding it in half.
- Grill each folded quesadilla in a non-stick skillet over medium heat for 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown and the cheese melts. Slice and serve hot.
