How to Make A Cheesy Creamy Spinach Quesadilla

  1. Preheat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat.
  2. 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).
  3. Place one large flour tortilla (10-12 inches) on a flat surface. Spread half of the cheese and spinach mixture evenly over the tortilla.
