Spinach, Avocado and Cheese Quesadillas

 

1 10 ounce box frozen chopped spinach

1/2 avocado

1 1/2 tablespoons lime juice

1/4 teaspoon salt

4 burrito-size flour tortillas

2 tablespoons pickled jalapeno slices, coarsely chopped

1 cup shredded low-fat cheddar or Monterey Jack cheese

1/4 cup cilantro, chopped

 

Thaw spinach in a microwave or place it in a fine mesh strainer and run hot

water over it. Squeeze dry.

Combine avocado, lime juice and salt in a bowl and mash together with the back

of a fork.

Working with 1 tortilla at a time, spread a thin layer of avocado over half. Top

spread with 1/4 each of jalapeno, spinach, cheese and cilantro. Fold other half

of tortilla over filling. Repeat until all ingredients are used.

Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add a quesadilla and cook about 3

minutes on each side, or until it is browned lightly and cheese is melted.

Makes 4 servings.
