Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 Flour tortillas
- 4 cups Fresh spinach
- 4 tablespoons Cream cheese
- 1 cup Shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 0.5 teaspoons Garlic powder
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
Instructions
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of butter. Once melted, add the fresh spinach and sauté until wilted, about 2-3 minutes. Season with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder, then remove from heat and set aside.
In a small bowl, mix the cream cheese until smooth. Add the sautéed spinach and stir to combine evenly.
Lay a tortilla flat and spread half of the spinach and cream cheese mixture over it. Sprinkle 1/2 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese and 1/2 cup of shredded cheddar cheese evenly on top. Place another tortilla on top to form the quesadilla.
Place a clean skillet over medium heat and melt 1/2 tablespoon of butter. Carefully transfer the quesadilla to the skillet. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until the tortilla is golden brown and the cheese has melted. Repeat the process with the remaining ingredients to make the second quesadilla.
Use a sharp knife or a pizza cutter to slice each quesadilla into wedges. Serve hot with your choice of salsa, sour cream, or guacamole for dipping. Enjoy!
