Ingredients

  • 1 teaspoon butter
  • 2 8-10" flour tortillas
  • cup freshly shredded Mozzarella cheese
  • 12 baby spinach leaves roughly torn
  • hot sauce for serving OPTIONAL

Instructions

  • Lightly butter one side of each tortilla. Return the skillet to the stove over medium-high heat. Place one tortilla buttered side down in the skillet. Layer half of the cheese, the spinach, and the remaining cheese over the tortilla. Top with the remaining tortilla.
  • When the cheese is melting and the tortilla facing the skillet begins to brown, use a large spatula to carefully flip the tortilla over and cook on the second side for a few minutes.
  • When everything has melted together and the tortillas are golden and crisp, remove the quesadilla from the skillet and slice it into wedges. Serve warm with hot sauce.
