Spinach Quesadillas

Ingredients:

4 cups fresh baby spinach
4 scallions, chopped
1 small tomato, chopped
2 Tbsp Lemon juice
1 tsp ground cumin
¼ tsp garlic powder
1 cup of shredded Monterey Jack cheese
¼ cup reduced fat ricotta cheese
6 flour tortillas (6 inches)

In a large nonstick skillet, cook the spinach, scallions, tomato, lemon juice, cumin and garlic powder over medium heat until the spinach is wilted. Remove from the heat and stir in the Monterey Jack and ricotta cheese. In just minutes you have made a delicious filling.

Divide the spinach cheese mixture evenly among three tortillas. Top with remaining three tortillas. Heat a large skillet over low heat. Cook the tortillas  in your  large skillet, coated with cooking spray over low heat until heated through. Cut each quesadilla into four wedges.  Serve with sour cream. Makes six servings! Perfect for the next time you need a quick and easy meal. If there are any leftovers they can be reheated in the microwave for lunch the next day. If you want a more complete meal mix up a salad and you will not go away hungry. Hope you enjoy these Quesadillas as much as we do!
