In a nonreactive bowl stir together the zucchini, onion, lime juice, chile, and salt.

When the red onions are bright pink, drain and squeeze out as much of the pickling liquid as possible and set aside.

Place one tortilla in the skillet and sprinkle 1/4 cup of grated cheese evenly over the top.

Scatter a 1/4 cup of the pickled zucchini and onion mixture over the first layer of cheese and then sprinkle with another 1/4 cup cheese.

Top the quesadilla with the second tortilla and cook over moderately high-heat until crisp on the bottom, about 3 minutes.

Carefully flip it over and cook on the second side for another 2-3 minutes, until cheese is melted and both sides are golden.
