SPINACH WHOLE WHEAT QUESADILLAS
This is a super quick, easy, and light dinner. This also makes a great snack or appetizer. It looks like a lot of spinach at first, but it shrinks down a lot in no time during cooking. Other types of tortillas can be used if whole wheat isn't available. Serve with salsa and sour cream.

Steps:
- Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Place 1 tortilla onto the skillet. Sprinkle about half the Cheddar cheese evenly over the tortilla. Top with the spinach, green onions, garlic powder, and chili powder. Cover with the remaining Cheddar cheese. Place the second tortilla on top.
- Cook until the bottom tortilla starts to develop a bit of color and starts to crisp, about 3 minutes. To flip and cook the other side, slide the quesadilla off the non-stick pan onto a dinner plate, cover with another dinner plate and flip. The crispy tortilla side should now be on top. Slide the quesadilla back onto the pan and cook until the bottom tortilla starts turning crisp, about 3 minutes more. Slide onto a cutting board, and cut into 8 wedges to serve.

Tips:
- Use fresh spinach: Fresh spinach has a more vibrant flavor and texture than frozen spinach. If you're using frozen spinach, be sure to thaw it and squeeze out any excess water before using it.
- Don't overcook the spinach: Spinach cooks very quickly, so be careful not to overcook it. Overcooked spinach will be limp and mushy.
- Use a variety of cheeses: Using a variety of cheeses will give your quesadillas a more complex flavor. Some good options include mozzarella, cheddar, Parmesan, and feta.
- Add other vegetables: In addition to spinach, you can also add other vegetables to your quesadillas, such as mushrooms, bell peppers, or onions.
- Serve with your favorite dipping sauce: Quesadillas are delicious served with a variety of dipping sauces, such as salsa, guacamole, or sour cream.
Conclusion:
Spinach pizza quesadillas are a quick and easy meal that is perfect for a busy weeknight dinner. They're also a great way to use up leftover spinach. With a few simple ingredients, you can make a delicious and satisfying meal that the whole family will love.
