Ingredients
5-ounce bag fresh spinach
1 tablespoon butter or olive oil
1 clove garlic, finely diced (optional)
2 large flour tortillas
2 cups shredded pepper jack cheese
ΒΌ cup feta cheese crumbles
1 cup ranch dressing
3–4 pieces canned artichokes, rinsed if packed in oil
Instructions
1-Gathering and Prepping Ingredients: First, melt the butter or heat olive oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add the fresh spinach and cook for about 4 minutes until it’s slightly wilted, stirring frequently to keep it even. This step helps bring out the vibrant greens and reduces moisture for better texture.
2-Next, add the garlic and cook for 45 seconds while stirring, letting its aroma shine through. Remove the spinach from the pan and place it on paper towels; cover with additional paper towels to squeeze out excess moisture and prevent sogginess. Now, lay one tortilla on a cutting board, sprinkle half of the shredded pepper jack cheese (about Β½ cup) over half of it, add half of the cooked spinach, then half of the feta cheese crumbles, and top with another Β½ cup shredded cheese.
3-Cooking and Serving: Fold the tortilla over to form a half-moon shape, and repeat with the second tortilla and the remaining ingredients. Heat a large pan or griddle to medium heat and lightly grease it with cooking spray or oil. Cook each quesadilla for 5-7 minutes on each side until they’re crispy and toasted, giving you that perfect golden exterior.
4-To finish, blend the ranch dressing with the artichokes for 20-30 seconds until smooth for your dip. Cut each quesadilla into four wedges and serve them warm with the dip. For a twist, remember to try recipes like our salsa verde options if you want to mix things up with other dips.
