Step 1

Warm the olive oil over medium heat, then add the green and yellow squash and garlic and cook until softened but not mushy, about 5-8 minutes. Salt and pepper to taste. Set aside.

Step 2

Brush or spray one side of a tortilla with a little bit of olive oil. Place in a skillet pre-heated over medium heat, with the oil side down. Cook 2-3 minutes until golden brown on the bottom, then remove.

Step 3

Brush or spray one side of another tortilla with olive oil. Place in the skillet, oil side down. Moving quickly, distribute about 1/4 of the cooked zucchini, spread a layer of spinach over the zucchini, then sprinkle about 1/4 of the shredded cheese over the whole thing.

Step 4

Top with the browned tortilla (browned side up). Cook for a few minutes until the bottom tortilla is golden brown on the bottom and the cheese is melted.

Step 5

Repeat steps 2-4 to prepare each of the remaining 3 servings.
