Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients

  • 5 ounce fresh spinach
  • 1 tablespoon butter or olive oil
  • 1 clove garlic, finely diced optional
  • 2 large flour tortillas
  • 2 cups shredded pepper jack cheese
  • ¼ cup feta cheese crumbles

Ranch Artichoke Dip

  • 1 cup Ranch dressing I used Hidden Valley
  • 3-4 canned quartered artichokes

Instructions
 

Quesadilla Preparation

  • Melt butter (or heat olive oil) in a large pan over medium heat. Once melted, add fresh spinach and cook for 4 minutes, stirring and flipping the spinach frequently.
  • Add the garlic and cook for 45 seconds, stirring the whole time.
  • Remove pan from heat. Put the cooked spinach on paper towels, then cover with paper towels to help remove excess moisture.
  • Lay a tortilla on a cutting board and sprinkle half with ½ cup shredded cheese. Top with half of the wilted spinach and half of the crumbled feta. Finish with another ½ cup shredded cheese.
  • Fold the naked half of the tortilla over the top of the side with fillings. Repeat this step with the second quesadilla.
  • Heat a large pan or griddle to medium heat. Spritz the surface with cooking spray.
  • Add quesadillas and cook for 5-7 minutes on each side, or until crisp and toasty looking.
  • Remove from heat and cut into four slices. Serve with Ranch Artichoke Dip.

Ranch Artichoke Dip Preparation

  • Add ranch dressing and canned artichokes to a blender and blend for 20-30 seconds, until smooth.

Notes

It's important to remove excess moisture from the spinach to avoid soggy quesadillas.
