Spinach Quesadillas and beans

I had four corn tortillas left over from when I made tacos, and some cheese leftover from last week from the tomato tart that I haven't put up a recipe for. So, I turned that into quesadillas, served with some of those beans I had made, topped with some greek yogurt.


Quesadillas are easy to make. First, saute some garlic in olive oil. Once the kitchen smells like toasted garlic, add a whole bunch of spinach to the pan, and salt it. Spinach cooks way down, so depending on how much of it you want, you may want to add like four cups of it. Of course, if you just want enough for the quesadillas, just add two handfuls or so.

Next, grate cheese. I used cheddar. Grate lots of cheese.

If you have cilantro, that tastes good in these things too, so chop up some of that.

Once the spinach is done, pull it out of the pan, and add some more oil to the pan. Put down one tortilla, then add a bunch of cheese (probably half a cup?). Put some spinach over that. Then put on the second tortilla. This can all be done in the pan. Let it cook for 2-3 minutes, and then use a spatula and flip the whole thing. Once the looks thoroughly melted, pull it out and let it cool on a cutting board. Cook the other quesadilla while the first one cools. You want it to be relatively cooled before you cut it, or the cheese will just run out of it and it'll flatten. But you don't want it to be cold, because cold quesadillas are gross.


I decided that just eating cheese and corn tortillas for dinner wasn't very well rounded, so added some beans and greek yogurt, and the extra spinach. Pretty tasty.
