How to Make A Cheesy Creamy Spinach Quesadilla
- Preheat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat.
- In a medium bowl, combine 4 oz goat cheese, 4 oz cottage cheese, 2 oz shredded mozzarella cheese, 2 cups fresh spinach (chopped), 1/2 cup chopped tomatoes, 1/4 cup chopped cilantro, and 1-2 jalapeños (finely chopped, adjust to your spice preference).
- Place one large flour tortilla (10-12 inches) on a flat surface. Spread half of the cheese and spinach mixture evenly over the tortilla.
- Top with another large flour tortilla.
- Cook the quesadilla for 3-4 minutes per side, or until the tortillas are golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly. Use a spatula to press down gently while cooking to ensure even cooking and melting.
- Remove from heat and let cool slightly before cutting into wedges. Serve immediately and enjoy!
- Optional: Serve with your favorite salsa, sour cream, or guacamole.
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
