Spinach and Cheddar Quesadilla Recipe

Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon light olive oil
  • 4 corn tortillas
  • 1/2 cup cooked spinach, drained well (or use fresh baby spinach leaves)
  • 6-8 grape or cherry tomatoes, halved
  • Dash nutmeg or Old Bay Seasoning
  • 4 oz. cheddar, sliced thin (or vegan non-dairy cheese)

Preparation

Step 1

Heat a griddle or large skillet over medium-high heat and coat with a dash of olive oil.


Lay two of the tortillas on the hot griddle.

Cover each tortilla with a spinach layer. Add the tomatoes. Season with nutmeg or Old Bay Seasoning.

Layer with slices of cheddar.

Top each with another tortilla and press down with a spatula.

Cook for a minute or two and carefully flip the quesadillas using a broad flat spatula.

Press down a bit and cook until the cheese is melted and the tortillas are turning golden.


Makes two quesadillas.
