    Top tip

    We have spinach quesadillas all year round. But, in the summer, I grill them and they are delicious!

    Yes, you read that right! I cook the prepared Spinach Quesadillas on the grill - OUTSIDE!

    This recipe comes from a friend that served them to us years ago. I think we only had four children then. Yet, it is such a good recipe that's easy to make, it's still around and is one of our standards.

    So, you might ask, what is a good recipe to me? Well, first it has to taste good. These are delicious and that is even better!

    Second, it has to be easy. These spinach quesadillas are definitely that!

    Third, no exotic ingredients.

    Ingredients

    To stay in my menu plan, I want easy to obtain ingredients that don't cost a lot. Ideally something that can be bought in bulk, or made using leftovers.

    • 2 packages frozen spinach
    • 1 onion, chopped
    • 1 cup mozzarella or cheddar cheese
      • you can also use a mix
    • butter
    • 1 package large tortillas shells
    • sour cream
    • salsa

    Fourth, maybe this should be first, but it has to be nutritious.

    Normally, when scanning a new recipe, the nutritional value is going through my head. Loaded with spinach and onion, I feel good about serving these to my family.

    Be sure to have plenty of sour cream and easy homemade salsa on hand because mixed with the creamy filling of the Easy Spinach Quesadillas, people are sure to want more.

    Known as the "second brain", your gut has more than 100 million neurons, and needs to be nourished.
