Creamy Spinach Quesadillas Recipe
- Yield: 4-6 quesadillas 1x
- Category: Main Dish
Ingredients
- 4 cups spinach leaves (or other dark leafy greens of your choice), roughly chopped
- 1/2 of a medium onion, finely chopped
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- 3 tablespoons butter or coconut oil (where to purchase)
- 1 medium tomato, finely chopped
- 4 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1 1/2 cups shredded cheese of your choice
- Flour tortillas (how to make your own)
- Salt and pepper, to taste (I use Redmond Salt)
Instructions
- In a medium frying pan, sauté the onion in the butter until the onion is soft and translucent.
- Add the minced garlic and cook for 1-2 minutes more.
- Add the spinach/greens to the pan and allow them to wilt for 3-4 minutes. It will look like a massive quantity at first, but will quickly reduce in size.
- Place the cream cheese, tomato, and shredded cheese in a separate bowl. Add in the spinach/onion mixture.
- Stir to combine. Spread two to four tablespoons of the mixture on half of each tortilla. Fold the tortilla in half.
- Heat the tortilla in a lightly greased pan, flipping once. Your quesadillas are done when they are a lovely shade of golden brown on both sides and the cheese is melted.
