Follow The Directions

01

Step

Preheat a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. (Time: ~2 minutes)

02

Step

Place one tortilla onto the hot skillet. Sprinkle half of the shredded Cheddar cheese evenly over the surface. (Time: ~1 minute)

03

Step

Layer the spinach, green onions, garlic powder, and chili powder on top of the cheese. Cover with the remaining Cheddar cheese. (Time: ~2 minutes)

04

Step

Top with the second tortilla. (Time: ~30 seconds)

05

Step

Cook until the bottom tortilla begins to develop a golden-brown color and crisp texture, approximately 3 minutes. (Time: ~3 minutes)

06

Step

To flip the quesadilla, carefully slide it from the skillet onto a dinner plate. Place another plate on top, invert the quesadilla, and gently slide it back into the skillet. (Time: ~1 minute)

07

Step

Continue cooking until the second tortilla is golden brown and crisp, about 3 minutes more. (Time: ~3 minutes)

08

Step

Carefully slide the quesadilla onto a cutting board. Let it cool slightly before slicing into 8 wedges. Serve immediately.

For a richer flavor, consider adding a sprinkle of grated Parmesan cheese along with the Cheddar.
Feel free to experiment with different cheeses, such as Monterey Jack or pepper jack, to customize the flavor.
Serve with your favorite salsa, sour cream, or a dollop of guacamole for a complete and satisfying experience.
If whole wheat tortillas are unavailable, you may substitute with other tortilla varieties, but the nutritional profile will change.

    My tortillas kept burning before the cheese melted. I had to lower the heat and cook them longer.
