Nonstick cooking spray
1 medium zucchini, halved lengthwise and sliced
8 ounces sliced mushrooms
1/2 onion, thinly sliced
salt, to taste
1 teaspoon garlic powder

Spray-coat a 10-12 inch nonstick skillet, then warm over medium-high heat. Add zucchini, mushrooms and onions; cook and stir until onion softens, about 3-5 minutes. Sprinkle on salt, garlic powder and cumin; stir to coat. Remove vegetables from pan; wipe out pan with a paper towel. Re-coat pan with cooking spray.
For each quesadilla, place a tortilla in the pan.
Sprinkle 2 ounces cheese over tortilla. Sprinkle on 2 and spread half of the drained salmon chunks over cheese. Spread half of the vegetables over salmon.
