Fresh, healthy Greek flavors get the Tex-Mex treatment with these veggie quesadillas. Zucchini and onion form the filling between tortillas oozing with melty mozzarella cheese. Topped with crumbles of feta cheese and an irresistible roasted red pepper-olive salsa, this calorie-conscious meal has enough flavor to stretch from the Mediterranean Sea to the Gulf of Mexico.
