Instructions:
- Sauté the Spinach and Corn: Heat olive oil or butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped spinach and corn, cooking for 3-4 minutes until the spinach wilts and the corn is heated through. Season with salt, pepper, and a sprinkle of cumin powder for extra flavor, then remove from heat.
- Assemble the Quesadillas: Place a tortilla on a clean surface or plate. Sprinkle a thin layer of shredded cheese over half of the tortilla, then add a portion of the spinach and corn mixture. Top with another layer of cheese (this helps the quesadilla stick together). Fold the tortilla over to create a half-moon shape. Repeat with the remaining tortillas and filling.
- Cook the Quesadillas: In a clean skillet over medium heat, place the assembled quesadilla and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, until golden brown and the cheese has melted. Repeat with the other quesadillas.
- Serve: Slice the quesadillas into wedges and serve warm with a side of sour cream, salsa, or guacamole for dipping.
Tips:
- Add Extra Flavor: Try adding diced red onions, bell peppers, or even a sprinkle of red pepper flakes if you like a bit of heat.
- Use Whole Wheat Tortillas: For a healthier twist, opt for whole wheat or low-carb tortillas.
- Make It Cheesy: Use a combination of cheeses for a richer, creamier texture.
