Ingredients
Instructions
-
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced red onion and sauté until softened and translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
-
Add the chopped fresh spinach to the skillet and cook until wilted, about 2-3 minutes. Season with ground cumin, salt, and pepper, stirring to combine all the flavors. Remove from heat and set aside.
-
Place a tortilla on a clean work surface. Sprinkle a generous portion of shredded Monterey Jack cheese on half of the tortilla.
-
Spoon a portion of the spinach and onion mixture over the cheese layer. Be sure to spread the filling evenly to ensure delicious bites in every part of the quesadilla.
-
Fold the tortilla in half, covering the filling, to create a half-moon shape.
-
In the same skillet used for the filling, add a little more olive oil over medium heat. Carefully place the assembled quesadilla in the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and the cheese is melted.
-
Repeat the process with the remaining tortillas and filling ingredients, adding more oil to the skillet as needed.
-
Once all the quesadillas are cooked, transfer them to a cutting board and let them cool slightly. Cut into wedges or halves for easy snacking.
-
Serve your Spinach and Cheese Quesadillas with your favorite sides like salsa, guacamole, or sour cream. These condiments will complement the flavors and add an extra layer of yumminess to your meal.
