Description
Creamy Spinach White Bean Quesadillas are a delicious, cheesy delight filled with nutritious spinach and white beans.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups fresh spinach, chopped
- 1 can (15 oz) white beans (cannellini or navy), drained and rinsed
- 1 cup cream cheese, softened
- ½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 4 large flour tortillas
- Olive oil for frying
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, combine the chopped spinach, drained white beans, cream cheese, mozzarella, Parmesan, minced garlic, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined to create a creamy filling.
- Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add a small drizzle of olive oil.
- Place one tortilla in the skillet and spoon a generous amount of the creamy spinach filling onto half of the tortilla, then fold the other half over to create a half-moon shape.
- Cook for about 3-4 minutes or until the bottom of the quesadilla is golden brown and crispy. Carefully flip the quesadilla and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes on the other side.
- Repeat the process with the remaining tortillas and filling, adding more olive oil to the skillet as needed.
- Once all quesadillas are cooked, remove them from the skillet and let them cool for a minute before slicing into wedges.
Notes
- Serve the quesadillas warm with a side of salsa or guacamole.
- Garnish with fresh cilantro or a sprinkle of extra cheese for added visual appeal.
