    List of Ingredients




    Spinach and Corn Quesadilla


    2 tsp. canola oil
    1/4 cup thinly sliced onion
    1 jalapeño pepper, seeded and cut in thin rounds
    1 bunch spinach, stemmed, with leaves cut in 1” ribbons, or one package (10 oz.) frozen chopped spinach, defrosted and squeezed dry
    1/2 cup white corn kernels, fresh or frozen
    Two 10” whole-wheat tortillas
    Cooking spray (or 1/2 tsp. canola or light olive oil)
    1 cup (3 oz.) shredded Jack cheese, divided

    Recipe





    In large, non-stick skillet, heat oil on medium-high heat. Add onion and jalapeño and sauté until onion is translucent. Add spinach, stirring until it wilts. Add corn and cook, stirring, until corn is warmed through, about 3 minutes. Transfer mixture to bowl. Wipe out pan.

    Coat one tortilla with cooking spray. Place it, sprayed/brushed side down, on plate. Sprinkle half the cheese over tortilla. Spread spinach mixture over cheese, leaving a half-inch border around edge. Sprinkle on onion. Top with remaining cheese. Spray second tortilla and place it, coated side up, to cover filling.

    Return skillet to heat. When hot, slide quesadilla into skillet. Cook until bottom tortilla is crisp and lightly browned, about 2 minutes. Turn quesadilla by first sliding it onto plate and inverting a second plate over it. Flip plates while pressing them firmly together. Slide quesadilla, uncooked side down, back into pan, and cook second side until crisp. On plate, cut quesadilla into 8 wedges. Serve immediately, accompanied by your favorite salsa.

    Makes 8 wedges.
