Preparation
- Melt butter (or heat olive oil) in a large pan over medium heat. Once melted, add fresh spinach and cook for 4 minutes (or until slightly wilted), stirring 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 by sprinkling with another ½ cup shredded cheese.
- Fold the naked half of the tortilla over the top of the side with fillings. Repeat with the second quesadilla.
- Heat a large pan or griddle to medium heat. When warmed up, spritz the surface with cooking spray.
- Add quesadillas and cook for 5-7 minutes on each side, or until crisp and toasty.
- Remove from heat and cut into four slices. Serve with Ranch Artichoke Dip.
Ranch Artichoke Dip
- Add ranch dressing and canned artichokes to a blender and blend for 20-30 seconds, until smooth.
