- 1 cup Fresh spinach leaves
- 0.5 cup Cherry tomatoes, halved
- 0.25 cup Red onion, finely sliced
- as needed Non-stick cooking spray
- to taste Salt

Instructions
Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly coat it with non-stick cooking spray.
Place one whole wheat tortilla in the skillet and allow it to warm slightly for about 30 seconds.
Sprinkle half of the low-fat shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the tortilla.
Add half a cup of fresh spinach leaves, a quarter cup of cherry tomato halves, and an eighth cup of thinly sliced red onion over the cheese.
Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
Place the second whole wheat tortilla on top to form a sandwich.
Cook for about 2-3 minutes, pressing gently with a spatula, until the cheese begins to melt and the bottom tortilla is golden brown.
Carefully flip the tortilla using a spatula and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the second side is golden brown and the cheese is fully melted.
Remove from the skillet and allow to cool slightly before slicing into wedges.
Repeat the process for the remaining ingredients to make the second tortilla.
Serve warm and enjoy your low-fat cheese tortilla!
