Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces Whole wheat tortillas
- 2 cups Fresh spinach
- 1 cup Low-fat shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 tablespoon (for spraying, as needed) Olive oil cooking spray
- 0.25 teaspoons Garlic powder
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
Instructions
Place a medium non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly spray with olive oil cooking spray.
Add the fresh spinach to the skillet and sauté for 2-3 minutes, or until wilted. Sprinkle with garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Remove from skillet and set aside.
Wipe the skillet clean with a paper towel and place it back on the heat. Spray lightly with olive oil cooking spray.
Lay one whole wheat tortilla flat in the skillet. Sprinkle half of the low-fat shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the tortilla.
Spread the sautéed spinach evenly over the cheese layer.
Sprinkle the remaining cheese over the spinach, then top with the second tortilla.
Cook for 2-3 minutes, or until the bottom tortilla is golden brown and crisp. Carefully flip the quesadilla using a spatula and cook the other side for an additional 2-3 minutes.
Remove the quesadilla from the skillet and place it on a cutting board. Allow it to cool for a minute before slicing into wedges.
Serve warm and enjoy your low-fat spinach quesadilla!
