  • 1 cup spinach
  • 1/2 red onion
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • 1/4 cup sun dried tomatoes
  • vegetable oil

Instructions

  • Chop the red onions and mince the garlic into small pieces. If the sun dried tomatoes are large, cut them into smaller pieces.

  • Remove the veggies from the pan and set them aside. Add more vegetable oil to the pan.
  • Assemble the quesadillas. Add the cheese to one half of the tortillas then sprinkle some veggies on top of the cheese. Fold the top half of the tortillas over the toppings.
