Ingredients

2 teaspoons olive oil

2 cloves garlic, minced

3 cups fresh spinach, chopped

1 cup canned artichoke hearts, drained and chopped

4 ounces cream cheese, softened

1/2 cup sour cream (or Greek yogurt)

1 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded

1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, grated

4 large flour tortillas

Salt and black pepper, to taste

Instructions

1. Preparing the Filling

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Add chopped spinach and cook until wilted, about 2–3 minutes. Stir in chopped artichokes and cook for another minute. Reduce heat to low and mix in cream cheese, sour cream, mozzarella, and Parmesan. Stir until smooth and creamy. Season with salt and pepper. Remove from heat.

2. Assembling the Quesadillas

Lay two tortillas on a clean surface. Spread an even layer of the spinach-artichoke mixture over each, leaving a ½-inch border around the edges. Place the remaining tortillas on top and press gently to seal.

3. Cooking the Quesadillas

Heat a clean skillet over medium heat. Cook each quesadilla for 3–4 minutes per side until golden brown and crispy, and the cheese inside is melted. Transfer to a cutting board and let rest for 2 minutes. Slice into wedges and serve warm.

Notes

For extra crispiness, brush tortillas lightly with olive oil before cooking.

Add red pepper flakes for a subtle kick.

Swap mozzarella for Monterey Jack or a Mexican cheese blend.

Make ahead and refrigerate assembled (uncooked) quesadillas for up to 24 hours.

Freeze cooked quesadillas for up to 3 months; reheat in a skillet or oven for best texture.
