⏱️ Cooking Time: 15 minutes | 🍽️ Servings: 1

Instructions

1. 1.
   Begin by heating a non-stick skillet over medium heat and pour in the olive oil. Swirl the pan to evenly coat the surface. This will ensure your quesadilla gets crispy without sticking to the pan.
2. 2.
   Place the whole grain tortilla on a flat surface. On one half of the tortilla, layer the sliced grilled chicken evenly. This provides a robust, protein-rich base for the quesadilla.
3. 3.
   Evenly distribute the fresh spinach leaves over the chicken. The spinach will soften as it cooks, adding a soft texture and nutritional boost.
4. 4.
   Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese generously over the spinach and chicken. The cheese acts as a binder, holding the quesadilla together as it melts, so ensure it’s spread evenly.
5. 5.
   Fold the tortilla in half and carefully place it in the heated skillet. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the tortilla is golden brown and the cheese inside has melted completely. Using a spatula, press down occasionally to ensure every ingredient melds together nicely.
6. 6.
   Once cooked, remove the quesadilla from the skillet and let it cool slightly. Cut into wedges for easy handling and serve immediately for best flavor.
