Steps:
- 1. Heat the spinach with the garlic, salt, pepper, and cayenne pepper over medium-low heat in a pan until just wilted. Remove from heath and set aside.
- 2. Heat the grill pan (or regular pan) over medium-high heat. Spray with non-stick cooking spray or drizzle with olive oil. Toast the inside of the tortilla for about 30 seconds.
- 3. Take the tortilla off the grill pan and assemble as follows. Over half the quessadilla sprinkle about 2 tablespoons of monterey jack cheese, following by a few slices of chicken, then the spinach, then the crumbled goat cheese.
- 4. Add to the grill pan and cook for about 1 - 2 minutes. Carefully use a spatula to flip the empty half of the tortilla onto the loaded half. At this point I like to let the quesadilla cook for about 30 more seconds, then flip it over. Give it another 1 -2 minutes, then remove from the pan and enjoy!
Tips:
- Use a large skillet or griddle to cook the quesadillas so that they have plenty of room to spread out and cook evenly.
- Heat the skillet or griddle over medium heat before adding the quesadillas. This will help to prevent the tortillas from sticking.
- Do not overcrowd the skillet or griddle with quesadillas. This will also prevent them from cooking evenly.
- Use a spatula to carefully flip the quesadillas halfway through cooking. This will help to ensure that they are cooked evenly on both sides.
- Serve the quesadillas immediately with your favorite toppings. Some popular toppings include sour cream, guacamole, salsa, and Pico de Gallo.
