Steps:
- Preheat an outdoor grill over medium.
- Whisk the garlic, cumin, lime and oranges juices and 1/2 teaspoon salt together in a medium bowl. Add the steak, coat well in the mixture and let marinade for 10 minutes.
- Lightly oil the grill grates. Grill the steak, flipping once, until medium rare, 2 to 6 minutes per side depending on the thickness. Remove to a cutting board and let rest 5 minutes. Slice the steak against the grain and reserve.
- Lay a tortilla on a work surface and top evenly with 1/2 cup pepper-jack cheese. Add 1/4 of the steak and some chopped chipotle in adobo and sauce. Fold the tortilla in half to enclose fillings. Repeat with remaining tortillas and ingredients.

Steps:
- Grill the vegetables:
- Prepare a grill for medium-high, direct heat, preferably with hardwood or hardwood charcoal. Grill corn over direct heat, turning to cook evenly, until kernels are tender, about 20 minutes. Let corn steam in its husk 10 minutes, then shuck and cut kernels from cob. Transfer kernels to a large bowl.
- While corn is grilling, brush cut sides of zucchini with 1 Tbsp. olive oil, then sprinkle with salt and pepper. Toss scallions with remaining 1 Tbsp. olive oil and a pinch of salt and pepper. Grill zucchini and scallions over direct heat, turning occasionally, until tender and lightly charred, 8-10 minutes. Let cool slightly. Coarsely chop zucchini and scallions, then toss with corn. Season with salt and pepper.
- Make the salsa:
- Combine avocado, scallion, tomatoes, cilantro, lime juice, salt, and cayenne in a medium bowl.
- Assemble the quesadillas:
- Arrange tortillas on a work surface. Dividing evenly, layer cheese, then beans, then grilled vegetables on one side of each tortilla. Fold tortillas in half to create half-moons.
- Heat 1 Tbsp. vegetable oil in a large heavy skillet over medium-low until hot, then cook 2 tortillas, turning once, until cheese is melted and tortillas are brown, 1-2 minutes per side. Transfer quesadillas to serving plates, then cook remaining tortillas with remaining oil. Sprinkle quesadillas with cilantro leaves and serve with salsa and lime wedges alongside.

ROASTED SQUASH, RED PEPPER, AND JACK CHEESE QUESADILLAS
A creamy, savory-sweet purée of roasted vegetables replaces half the cheese in this colorful, vegetarian-friendly quesadilla. (Try serving the dip with raw veggies or even grilled corn.) Although dicing and then roasting the squash amps up the intensity of the roasted flavor, you can save some time by simply halving the squash before putting it into the oven and scooping out the flesh once it's soft.
Yield Makes 4 servings

- In a small bowl, stir the chile and lime juice into the sour cream until combined well.

Discard peels from onion and garlic.
- In a food processor purée the squash, onion, and garlic with salt and pepper to taste until smooth.
- Spread about one-fourth of the squash purée on each of 4 tortillas and sprinkle each with about one-fourth bell pepper and about one-fourth cheese. Top each quesadilla with a plain tortilla, pressing gently together. Spread each side of the quesadillas with 1/2 tablespoon butter.
- Heat a griddle or 7-inch nonstick skillet over moderately high heat until hot and cook the quesadillas, 1 at a time, until golden, about 3 minutes on each side, transferring to a cutting board as they finish cooking.
