Transfer the vegetables to the bowl with the barbecue sauce; stir to combine.
Wipe out the pan.
Place tortillas on a work surface.
Spread 3 tablespoons cheese on half of each tortilla and top with one-fourth (about ½ cup) of the filling.
Fold tortillas in half, pressing gently to flatten.

Add 2 quesadillas and cook, turning once, until golden on both sides, 3 to 4 minutes total.
