Directions
Step 1
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add 1 teaspoon of olive oil.
Step 2
Add the fresh spinach leaves to the skillet and sauté them for 2-3 minutes until wilted. Remove the spinach from the skillet and set aside.

Sprinkle half of the shredded low-sodium cheese on one half of the tortilla.
Step 5
Layer the sautéed spinach evenly over the cheese.
Step 6
Optionally, sprinkle garlic powder and red chili flakes over the spinach for added flavor.
Step 7
Top the spinach with the remaining half of the cheese and fold the tortilla in half to cover the filling.
Step 8
Cook the quesadilla for 2-3 minutes on each side until the tortilla is golden brown and the cheese is fully melted.
Step 9
Repeat the process with the second tortilla to make the second quesadilla.
Step 10
Slice the quesadillas into wedges and serve hot with a side of low-sodium salsa.
