We love quesadillas around our house. They’re such a fun alternative to a sandwich. Somehow, placing cheese and whatever else you can dream of between two flour tortillas just seems a little more exciting.

A quesadilla is simply a flour or corn tortilla filled with cheese and other savory ingredients and either folded over or cut into triangles.

Why This Recipe Works

  • Spinach and brie go so well together! When the brie is heated, it melts so easily and tastes wonderful.
  • Quesadillas are easily customizable. Consider this recipe to be more of an idea, take it and make it your own. Consider using a different cheeses and vegetables!

  3. Add your slices of brie. Top with the fresh spinach.
  4. Place your other tortilla on the top and cover for about 3 minutes.

  6. Remove quesadilla from the frying pan and slice into four triangles.
