Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Fresh spinach leaves
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 1 clove Garlic
- 2 large Flour tortillas
- 1 cup Shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Butter
Instructions
Rinse and drain the fresh spinach leaves thoroughly.
Finely chop the garlic clove.
In a medium-sized pan, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
Add the chopped garlic to the pan and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the spinach leaves to the pan and cook until wilted, about 2-3 minutes. Season with salt and black pepper. Remove from heat and set aside.
Lay one tortilla on a flat surface and evenly sprinkle half of the mozzarella and cheddar cheese on one half of the tortilla.
Spread the cooked spinach evenly over the cheese layer. Top with the remaining cheese.
Fold the tortilla over to close the quesadilla.
In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium-high heat.
Place the folded quesadilla in the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the tortilla is golden brown and the cheese is melted.
Remove from the pan and let it cool slightly before cutting into wedges.
Repeat the process for the second quesadilla.
Serve warm with your choice of salsa or sour cream.
