Quesadilla Ingredients

  • 1 5 ounce bag fresh spinach
  • 1 tablespoon butter or olive oil
  • 1 clove garlic, finely diced optional

  • 2 cups shredded pepper jack cheese
  • ¼ cup feta cheese crumbles

Ranch Artichoke Dip

Instructions
 

Quesadilla Instructions

  • Melt butter (or heat olive oil) in a large pan over medium heat. Once melted, add fresh spinach and cook for 4 minutes (or until slightly wilted), stirring and flipping the spinach with tongs frequently.
  • Add the garlic and cook for 45 seconds, stirring the whole time.
  • Remove pan from heat. Put the cooked spinach on paper towels, then cover with paper towels to help remove excess moisture.
  • Lay a tortilla on a cutting board and sprinkle half with ½ cup shredded cheese. Top with half of the wilted spinach. Sprinkle on half of the crumbled feta. Finish by sprinkling with another ½ cup shredded cheese.
  • Fold the naked half of the tortilla over the top of the side with fillings. Repeat the step above with the second quesadilla.
  • Heat a large pan or griddle to medium heat. When warmed up, spritz the surface with cooking spray.
  • Add quesadillas and cook for 5-7 minutes on each side, or until crisp and toasty looking.
  • Remove from heat and cut into four slices. Serve with Ranch Artichoke Dip.

Ranch Artichoke Dip Instructions

  • Add ranch dressing and canned artichokes to a blender and blend for 20-30 seconds, until smooth.

Notes

Make sure to remove excess moisture from the spinach to prevent soggy quesadillas.
