Grilled Cumin-Lime Zucchini Quesadilla

I stumbled across this recipe on Pinterest today. It's from a very good looking food blog called Naturally Ella by Erin Alderson. Her site is right up my alley being both vegetarian and neatly laid out with the option of selecting recipes based on the ingredients seasonal availabilty. The photos a clear and sharp and everything looks so incredibly delish!
This Quesadilla is my pick for this week check it out on her site here. I think I might put ours on the BBQ with some corn too (You can't beat corn sprinkled with salt, chilli flakes and lime juice in the summer)  No doubt I will be posting a few more of her creations in future.

Ingredients

• ½ medium zucchini
• ½ tablespoon olive oil
• 2 teaspoon cumin
• ¼ teaspoon chilli flakes
• ½ lime juice and zest
• ½ tablespoon honey
• 2-3 ounces fresh mozzarella cheese
• 2-4 8″ or 10″ whole wheat tortillas

Instructions

1. Cut zucchini in to ¼” slices and place in a large bowl. Whisk together ½ tablespoon olive oil, 1 teaspoon cumin, ¼ teaspoon flakes, ½ lime zest/juice, and ½ tablespoon of honey. Pour over zucchini, cover, and let sit for at least 30 minutes.
2. When ready to cook, light grill to medium heat. Place slices on grill and let cook on each side until browned, 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat and carefully cut in to small strips. Layer strips on half of the tortilla and sprinkle mozzarella on top.
3. Return to grill and cook on each side until tortilla is crisp and cheese is melted. Serve with greek yogurt mixed with lime juice and cilantro.
