Ingredients:
- 1 cup frozen chopped spinach, thawed and squeezed dry
- 1/2 ripe avocado
- 1 1/2 tablespoons lime juice
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 4 medium flour tortillas
- 2 tablespoons chopped cilantro
- 1/4 cup low-fat cheddar cheese, shredded
- 1/4 cup monterey jack cheese, shredded
Instructions:
-
Prepare the Spinach:
Thaw the frozen chopped spinach either in the microwave or by placing it in a fine mesh strainer and running hot water over it. Once thawed, ensure to squeeze out any excess moisture. -
Make the Avocado Spread:
In a bowl, combine the ripe avocado, lime juice, and salt. Mash the ingredients together using the back of a fork until you achieve a smooth spreadable consistency. -
Assemble the Quesadillas:
Take one flour tortilla and spread a thin layer of the avocado mixture over half of it. Then, top the spread with 1/4 portion each of chopped jalapeΓ±o, thawed spinach, shredded low-fat cheddar cheese, and shredded monterey jack cheese. Sprinkle some chopped cilantro over the filling. -
Fold and Repeat:
Fold the other half of the tortilla over the filling, creating a half-moon shape. Repeat this process for the remaining tortillas and ingredients until all the quesadillas are assembled. -
Cook the Quesadillas:
Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add a quesadilla to the skillet and cook for about 3 minutes on each side, or until the tortilla is lightly browned and crispy, and the cheese is melted to perfection. Repeat this step for each quesadilla. -
Serve and Enjoy:
Once cooked, transfer the quesadillas to a cutting board and slice them into wedges. Serve hot and enjoy the flavorful combination of spinach, avocado, and cheese in every bite. These quesadillas are perfect for any occasion, whether it’s a quick weeknight dinner or a casual get-together with friends and family.
