Spicy Spinach Quesadilla Recipe (2024)

Have not tried the Spicy Spinach Quesadilla yet but it looks simple and amazing! Thank you for sharing.

Hubby and I loved this! Such a versatile recipe, and I threw in a few black beans along with chicken, some minced sauteed onion and chopped green onion, a sprinkle of cilantro. Served with a small dollop of sour cream. I assembled and cooked it in my newest favorite kitchen gadget, the “Range Mate” which grills in your microwave! Rather than folding the tortillas, I made with one tortilla on the bottom and topped with another then cut in wedges. Superb! We adore your recipes, Andi. Thanks so much. :-)

Do you know how many calories per quesadilles? My family loved them.

Thank you Andi. I will write to you soon. My husband passed away Feb 13th.

Thank you for the tip on the spinach I agree I have been putting it in omelettes and always had that grittiness to it.

I found your recipe via Pinterest, I can’t wait to try it! I plan to experiment a little with chicken, chillies and so on. Looks to be one of those quick an easy recipes that you’ll want to make again and again!

I received a bag of freshly picked spinach from my mother’s garden and I knew it wasn’t going to be enough for a side, but it was perfect for this! I didn’t use pepper jack, just a bag of shredded “mexican blend” cheeses and medium salsa. It is awesome. Very pleased with this recipe. Very easy to make too. I started at 5PM with the spinach and finished by 5:33PM. Perfect.

I love your recipes. can’t wait to try more of them. I have done the spinach quesadillas but slightly different. We use chopped chicken and favorite shredded cheese and brown the tortilla on the stove. My family loves them.

The other issue is to eat the spinach while hot, keeps the chelation down which causes that sensation. Thanks for the recipe!

I’m always learning from you Andi! These look so good. I love spinach lately.

Another way to prepare is to take 2 whole-wheat “wraps,” using one as the base layer for cheese and fresh sauteed spinach and warming on a griddle until the cheese starts to melt, then placing the other wrap on top and flipping the whole thing to finish the cooking/melting process. Then cut into pie wedges and dip into little bowls of salsa and sour cream. Delish!

I’ve always wondered why I get that weird taste in my mouth when I eat spinach sometimes! I love that you figured out why! These quesadillas look so good. My boys would eat these! I’m going to make them soon. Thanks Andi!
