Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces Gluten-free tortillas
- 2 cups Fresh spinach
- 1 cup Shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 1 clove Garlic
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoons Optional: Red pepper flakes
Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.
Finely mince the garlic and add it to the skillet. Sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Add the fresh spinach to the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until wilted. Season with salt, black pepper, and optional red pepper flakes. Remove from heat and set aside.
In a clean skillet or griddle, place one gluten-free tortilla over medium heat.
Evenly spread half of the shredded mozzarella cheese on the tortilla.
Spread the cooked spinach mixture on top of the cheese layer.
Sprinkle the remaining shredded mozzarella cheese on top of the spinach mixture.
Place the second tortilla on top to form a quesadilla. Gently press it down with a spatula.
Cook for 2-3 minutes on one side until golden brown and the bottom tortilla is slightly crispy. Carefully flip the quesadilla using a spatula and cook for another 2-3 minutes on the other side.
Remove the quesadilla from the skillet and transfer it to a cutting board.
Allow the quesadilla to cool slightly, then slice it into quarters using a sharp knife or pizza cutter.
Serve warm on its own or with your choice of gluten-free salsa, guacamole, or sour cream.
