Ingredients

• 1 cup Almond flour
• 2 tablespoons Arrowroot powder
• 0.25 cup Coconut milk (canned, full-fat)
• 2 large Eggs
• 2 cups Spinach
• 2 teaspoons Coconut oil
• 2 tablespoons Nutritional yeast
• 1 clove Garlic (minced)
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 teaspoon Coconut oil (for skillet)

Directions

Step 1

In a medium bowl, combine almond flour, arrowroot powder, coconut milk, eggs, and a pinch of salt. Whisk until smooth to create the tortilla batter.

Step 2

Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat and lightly coat with 1 teaspoon of coconut oil. Pour 1/4 cup of the batter onto the skillet and spread it into a thin circle (like a crepe). Cook for 2-3 minutes or until the edges lift slightly, then gently flip and cook for another 1-2 minutes. Remove from skillet and repeat with remaining batter to make 4 total tortillas.

Step 3

In a separate pan, heat 2 teaspoons of coconut oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 4

Add spinach to the pan and sauté for 2-3 minutes until wilted. Stir in nutritional yeast, salt, and black pepper. Cook for an additional minute and remove from heat. Set aside to cool slightly.

Step 5

Spoon the spinach mixture onto one half of each tortilla. Fold the tortillas over to form quesadillas.

Step 6

Return the skillet to medium heat and lightly grease with oil if needed. Cook each quesadilla for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden and heated through.

Step 7

Slice the quesadillas in half and serve warm. Enjoy!
