Spicy Spinach Quesadillas
- 6 ounces Baby Spinach
- 1 pinch kosher salt
- 8 small tortillas or 4 large tortillas
- 8 ounces monterey jack pepper cheese, grated
- fresh spicy salsa or pico de gallo, to taste
- Heat 1/4 cup water in a large skillet over medium heat.
- Add spinach, sprinkle with salt, and cover. Cook for approximately 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until spinach is wilted.
- Drain spinach in a colander, rinse with cold water, and squeeze out excess water. Set aside.
- Rinse and dry the same skillet. Spray the skillet with cooking spray and heat over medium-high heat. Place 1 to 2 tortillas in the hot skillet, and evenly spread a thin layer of cheese over the surface.
- Separate cooked spinach leaves and spread over the cheese.
- When cheese is mostly melted, scoop up about a tablespoon of salsa, draining as much liquid off as possible and drop it onto the open tortilla. Optionally add chicken to half the tortilla also (ingredient not listed above).
- Carefully fold the side of the tortilla that does not have salsa on it over the top, creating a half-circle shape. Cook about one minute longer before removing to a plate. Repeat with remaining tortillas.
