SPINACH QUESADILLAS



Spinach Quesadillas image

My family gave these cheesy quesadillas oohs and aahs. Remove the spinach from the heat as soon as it wilts so it keeps a little bit of crunch. -Pam Kaiser, Mansfield, Missouri

SPINACH WHOLE WHEAT QUESADILLAS



Spinach Whole Wheat Quesadillas image

This is a super quick, easy, and light dinner. This also makes a great snack or appetizer. It looks like a lot of spinach at first, but it shrinks down a lot in no time during cooking. Other types of tortillas can be used if whole wheat isn't available. Serve with salsa and sour cream.

Categories     World Cuisine Recipes     Latin American     Mexican

Time 20m

Yield 2

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 (10 inch) whole wheat tortillas
3 cups fresh spinach leaves
⅔ cup shredded Cheddar cheese
1 green onion, chopped
½ teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon chili powder

Steps:

  • Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Place 1 tortilla onto the skillet. Sprinkle about half the Cheddar cheese evenly over the tortilla. Top with the spinach, green onions, garlic powder, and chili powder. Cover with the remaining Cheddar cheese. Place the second tortilla on top.
  • Cook until the bottom tortilla starts to develop a bit of color and starts to crisp, about 3 minutes. To flip and cook the other side, slide the quesadilla off the non-stick pan onto a dinner plate, cover with another dinner plate and flip. The crispy tortilla side should now be on top. Slide the quesadilla back onto the pan and cook until the bottom tortilla starts turning crisp, about 3 minutes more. Slide onto a cutting board, and cut into 8 wedges to serve.

BEEF, BLUE CHEESE AND SPINACH QUESADILLAS



Beef, Blue Cheese and Spinach Quesadillas image

This was a recipe that I received at a recent Weight Watchers meeting. Though it's full of yummy beef, cheese and spinach, according to Weight Watchers, only has 8 points for 1 whole quesadilla. (Serving suggestion by WW was 1/4 of a quesadilla for 2 pts, but I made these, and we each ate 1 whole for dinner.) My husband and I really liked them--they do not have a traditional flavor, but the blue cheese is so yummy. Adjust the heat of the taco sauce and the amount of red pepper flakes to your spiciness liking. We served these with extra taco sauce on the side.

Provided by AndreaVT96

Categories     Cheese

Time 28m

Yield 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

1/3 cup cooked extra lean ground beef
3 tablespoons taco sauce
4 large burrito-size whole wheat tortillas
4 ounces blue cheese, crumbled
10 ounces frozen chopped spinach, thawed and squeezed dry
1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes

Steps:

  • Stir together the beef and taco sauce.
  • Lay 2 tortillas flat and divide beef mixture between them.
  • Sprinkle each tortilla with half the cheese, half the spinach and half the red pepper flakes. Top each with a remaining tortilla.
  • Put a large, heavy nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Place one quesadilla in skillet and cook until brown spots form on bottom of tortilla, a few minutes each side. Flip and repeat; remove to a plate and cover to keep warm.
  • Repeat with the remaining ingredients. Cut each quesadilla into wedges and serve.

  • In a large skillet on medium-low heat, place 1 TB olive oil and the spinach. Cook for about 1 minute, tossing constantly to ensure even cooking. Once it darkens and wilts, remove to a bowl or plate.
  • Place another TB of olive oil in the skillet and a tortilla. Move it around a little to soak up the oil. Spread about half of the shredded cheese on half of the tortilla, then sprinkle a small amount on the other half. Top the cheese with about half of the spinach.

  • Add spinach, salt, black pepper and nutmeg to a 12-inch sauté pan over medium heat. Cover and cook until spinach has wilted, about 3 to 5 minutes.
  • Remove spinach from the pan and squeeze through a fine mesh strainer to get all that excess moisture out so you don't make your quesadillas soggy. Note: You're not actually pushing the spinach through the strainer, you're just using to squeeze some of that extra moisture out. Alternatively, you can place the spinach in a clean tea towel and squeeze the moisture out.
