Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. Preheat a large skillet or grill pan over medium heat for about 3 minutes.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine sliced zucchini, red bell pepper, and red onion. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt, pepper, and dried oregano. Sauté in the hot skillet for 3-4 minutes until tender.
  3. Place one flour tortilla in the skillet. Sprinkle half of the shredded mozzarella evenly over the tortilla.
  4. Layer the sautéed vegetables over the mozzarella, followed by sun-dried tomatoes, kalamata olives, and crumbled feta cheese. Add optional greens if using.
  5. Top with the remaining mozzarella and carefully place a second tortilla on top. Press down gently with a spatula.
  6. Cook for 2-3 minutes on one side until golden brown. Flip carefully and cook for another 2-3 minutes until cheese is melted.
  7. Remove from skillet, let rest for a minute, then slice into wedges.
