Category: Appetizer, Main Dish
Yield: 3 servings as a main dish, 6-8 servings as an appetizer
Ingredients
  • 6 ounces light cream cheese, room temperature
  • ¼ cup chopped fresh basil
  • ⅓ cup balsamic vinegar
  • 3 whole grain tortillas
  • 2 cups fresh baby spinach, chopped
  • 1 cup sliced strawberries
  • 2 Tbsp diced spring onions
  • Salt & pepper to taste
  • Cooking spray or 1 Tbsp oil
Instructions
  1. Stir together the cream cheese and basil and set aside.
  2. In a small saucepan over medium heat, cook the balsamic vinegar until bubbly and thickened, 3-5 minutes. Set aside to cool.
  3. Spread ⅓ of the cream cheese mixture on each tortilla. Distribute spinach, spring onions, and strawberries evenly over all three. Drizzle balsamic on top of strawberries. Add salt and pepper to taste and fold each tortilla in half.
  4. Lightly oil a large skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat. Cook quesadillas for 2 minutes per side, or until tortillas are slightly browned and spinach is starting to wilt. Let cool 5 minutes, slice, and serve.
