SPINACH ARTICHOKE QUESADILLAS INGREDIENTS

You will need:

• ½ tablespoon olive oil
• ½ cup cream cheese
• 1 teaspoon minced garlic
• 8 ounces (1 cup) artichoke hearts, chopped and drained
• 2 cups baby spinach leaves
• 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
• ¼ cup shredded Parmesan
• 2 large tortillas

SUBSTITUTIONS AND ADDITIONS

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

Cream Cheese: You can use cashew/almond cream cheese. We recommend almond cream cheese as a substitute because the consistency is similar to cream cheese. 

Shrimp: You can add shrimp into 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.

HOW TO MAKE THIS SPINACH ARTICHOKE QUESADILLA RECIPE

STEP ONE: Get a large 12 inch frying pan and place it over medium heat. Combine olive oil and cream cheese until the cream cheese has melted. This should take about 2 to 3 minutes.

STEP TWO: Stir in minced garlic, artichokes, and spinach. Cook until the spinach starts to shrink, about 2 to 3 minutes.

STEP THREE: Add in the mozzarella and parmesan cheese. Stir until it’s 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 and 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 1 to 2 minutes per side, or until lightly browned.

PRO TIP: Flour tortillas take in a lot of oil. We recommend coating your pan with canola oil before placing the tortilla in the pan. Try not to overfill your quesadilla. We know the filling is yummy, but an overfull quesadilla won’t cook as well.

STEP FIVE: Remove from the pan and cut them into 3 triangles. Then repeat these steps with the remaining mixture and tortillas.

STEP SIX: Serve hot or warm.

PRO TIP: Dip your quesadillas in some sour cream for a tasty addition to this dinner.

STORAGE

IN THE FRIDGE: You can store your leftovers in a sealed food storage container for 1 to 2 days. 

IN THE FREEZER: You can freeze quesadillas in a freezer-safe container or bag. You can reheat them for up to 4 months, but we recommend eating them within the first 2 months for the best quality.
