Assembling the Quesadillas

  2. Lay a tortilla flat, spread a quarter of the filling over half of it, leaving a small border.
  3. Fold the tortilla over the filling and press down gently.
Cooking the Quesadillas
  1. Heat the skillet over medium heat, adding a little oil if necessary.
  2. Cook each quesadilla for about 2 to 3 minutes per side until golden and crispy.
  3. Remove from the heat and let them rest for a minute before slicing into wedges.

Notes

For the crispiest quesadillas, make sure to drain the spinach well and keep the heat at medium. You can also experiment with add-ins like roasted red peppers or mushrooms.
