Yummy Spinach Quesadillas

Beau and I just tried these tonight - HOLY YUM! We found the recipe in Vegetarian Suppers by Deborah Madison. They were super quick and easy to make. I would recommend you try them out when you have a craving for Applebee's.

Ingredients:
Olive Oil
Small Onion
1 red or green jalapeno chile, seeded and diced
Mexican oregano
1/2 lb spinach leaves without stems
salt
1/2 cup chopped cilantro
4 whole wheat tortillas
1/3 cup of Monterary Jck Cheese
Salsa and Sour Cream

Directions:
1. Heat the oil in a wide skillet and add the onion, chile and oregano. Cook until onion is translucent, then add spinach. Sprinkle with some salt and cook until wilted. Stir in cilantro.
2. Using 2 skillets warms one tortilla in each, flipping them over so both sides get hot. Scatter cheese, and spinach mixture over one and the cover with second tortilla. Cook until bottom tortilla is crisp then flip and cook on second side.
3. Cut finished tortillas with pizza cutter and serve with salsa and sour cream if desired.

This recipe makes 2 to 3 servings. However, if you have someone like Beau, expect them not to share.

Happy Eating
