BEEF, BLUE CHEESE AND SPINACH QUESADILLAS



Beef, Blue Cheese and Spinach Quesadillas image

This was a recipe that I received at a recent Weight Watchers meeting. Though it's full of yummy beef, cheese and spinach, according to Weight Watchers, only has 8 points for 1 whole quesadilla. (Serving suggestion by WW was 1/4 of a quesadilla for 2 pts, but I made these, and we each ate 1 whole for dinner.) My husband and I really liked them--they do not have a traditional flavor, but the blue cheese is so yummy. Adjust the heat of the taco sauce and the amount of red pepper flakes to your spiciness liking. We served these with extra taco sauce on the side.

Time 28m

Yield 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

1/3 cup cooked extra lean ground beef
3 tablespoons taco sauce
4 large burrito-size whole wheat tortillas
4 ounces blue cheese, crumbled
10 ounces frozen chopped spinach, thawed and squeezed dry
1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes

Steps:

  • Stir together the beef and taco sauce.
  • Lay 2 tortillas flat and divide beef mixture between them.
  • Sprinkle each tortilla with half the cheese, half the spinach and half the red pepper flakes. Top each with a remaining tortilla.
  • Put a large, heavy nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Place one quesadilla in skillet and cook until brown spots form on bottom of tortilla, a few minutes each side. Flip and repeat; remove to a plate and cover to keep warm.
  • Repeat with the remaining ingredients. Cut each quesadilla into wedges and serve.

Tips:

  • Use fresh ingredients. The fresher the ingredients, the better the quesadillas will taste.
  • Don't overstuff the quesadillas. If they're too full, they'll be difficult to fold and cook evenly.
  • Use a large skillet or griddle. This will help the quesadillas cook evenly.
  • Cook the quesadillas over medium heat. This will help prevent them from burning.
  • Flip the quesadillas frequently. This will help them cook evenly and prevent them from sticking to the pan.
  • Serve the quesadillas immediately with your favorite toppings.
