Pepper Jack Cheese And Spinach Quesadillas Recipes

SPINACH QUESADILLAS

Steps:

• In a large nonstick skillet, cook and stir first 6 ingredients until spinach is wilted. Remove from heat; stir in cheeses., Top half of each tortilla with spinach mixture; fold other half over filling. Place on a griddle coated with cooking spray; cook over medium heat until golden brown, 1-2 minutes per side. Cut quesadillas in half; if desired, serve with sour cream.

PEPPER JACK CHEESE AND SPINACH QUESADILLAS

Steps:

• Mash together avocado, lime juice, and salt in bowl. Spread 1/4 mixture, 1/4 spinach, 1 and 1/2 tsp cilantro, and 1/4 cup cheese over half of each tortilla. Fold tortilla in half.
• Heat a dry, nonstick skillet over medium heat. Two at a time, heat the quesadillas in the skillet until the cheese melts and the tortillas are slightly browned, about 3 minutes on each side.

EASY PEPPER JACK CHEESE QUESADILLAS

Steps:

• To assemble quesadilla, place one tortilla on a dinner plate. Arrange sliced cheese atop tortilla, leaving at least 1/2 inch space from the edge of the tortilla. Arrange sliced tomatoes atop cheese layer followed by another layer of cheese (remaining). Top with remaining tortilla.
• While assembling the quesadillas, preheat an electric griddle to 350 F (or grill to medium-high heat). I use a griddle (rather than a grill) to cook quesadillas, as it is easier to turn them without losing their insides.
• Brush 1 tbs. olive oil onto the griddle, covering the surface. Brush the remaining 1 tbs. olive oil onto the top exposed tortilla. Gently slide the quesadilla from the dinner plate onto the griddle (olive oil-less side down).
• Cook for 5-7 minutes or until bottom tortilla begins to brown. With a large spatula, gently but swiftly turn quesadilla to brown other side. Cook for 5-7 minutes or until bottom tortilla begins to brown. Remove to a cutting board and allow to cool for 5 minutes.
• Slice into quarters and serve immediately with garnish of your preference. I like to use sour cream, salsa or guacamole. For this particular recipe, I served it with my Easy Tex-Mex Tomato Soup.
