Spinach Artichoke Quesadillas Ingredients

SPINACH: You can use kale if spinach isn’t your favorite. We recommend sauteeing kale until it’s soft. 

SHRIMP: You can add shrimp to your quesadillas for some additional flavor. Just saute it along with your veggies.

CHICKEN: Who doesn’t love chicken? You can add some chicken to these quesadillas.

We recommend cooking it beforehand and then adding it back into your veggie mix. Leftover baked chicken breast or rotisserie chicken would be ideal.

CHEESE: Experiment with other cheeses like pepper Jack for a spicy kick, Monterey Jack, or fiesta cheese.

SOUR CREAM: Greek yogurt is a great alternative that still provides creaminess. For a dairy-free option, use a plant-based sour cream or unsweetened coconut yogurt.

VEGGIES: You could add bell peppers, zucchini, or mushrooms to these spinach artichoke dip quesadillas.

How To Make This Spinach Artichoke Quesadillas Recipe

STEP ONE: Get a large skillet and place it over medium heat. Combine olive oil and cream cheese until the cream cheese has melted.

This should take about two to three minutes.

STEP TWO: Stir in minced garlic, artichokes, and spinach. Cook until the spinach starts to shrink, about two to three minutes.

STEP THREE: Add in the mozzarella and parmesan cheese. Stir until melted, and then remove from heat.

STEP FOUR: Get a clean and dry frying pan, then place it over medium heat.

Place a tortilla in the pan, scoop out ¼ of the spinach mixture, and spread it across one-half of the tortilla.

Fold the other half of the tortilla over the filling side and then heat it for one to two minutes per side or until lightly browned.

STEP FIVE: Remove from the pan and cut them into three triangles.

Then repeat these steps with the remaining mixture and tortillas.

STEP SIX: Serve hot or warm.

How To Serve Artichoke Spinach Quesadillas

Spinach Artichoke Quesadillas Storage Tips

IN THE FRIDGE: You can store your leftovers in a sealed food storage container for one to two days. 

IN THE FREEZER: You can freeze these vegetarian quesadillas in a freezer-safe container or bag for up to two months.

How to Reheat Cheesy Spinach Quesadillas

• Microwave: Place a damp paper towel over the quesadilla. This helps keep the tortilla moist and prevents it from drying out. Heat in short bursts (about 20-30 seconds), checking frequently to ensure it doesn’t overheat and the cheese is melted evenly. Halfway through, flip or rotate the quesadilla for even reheating.
• Oven: Preheat your oven to around 350°F and place your quesadillas on a cookie sheet. You can line it with parchment paper for easy cleanup. If the quesadilla feels a bit dry, you can lightly brush it with a bit of oil or butter. Heat for about 5-10 minutes, depending on the thickness. Flip halfway through for even heating.
• Airfryer: Preheat the air fryer to around 350°F. Place the quesadilla in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Do not overlap for even cooking. Cook for about 3-5 minutes. The air fryer works quickly, so keep an eye on it. Flip the quesadilla halfway through to ensure it heats evenly and gets crispy on both sides.
