Simple, Fast Spinach Quesadillas

Ingredients -

1 lb frozen cut leaf spinach, thawed and drained well, or fresh spinach, washed and patted dry
2 cups cheese, shredded - Gruyere and Havarti are ideal
10 large flour tortillas

Preparation:

Press spinach between paper towels or hand towels to remove any remaining moisture. Then sprinkle five tortillas with cheese and layer on all the spinach. Top with remaining cheese and an additional tortilla. Press gently to flatten.

Over medium heat in a large skillet, cook each quesadilla for two to three minutes per side, or until cheese, melts and tortillas become crisp. Press each gently with a spatula as it cooks. Cut into wedges or serve as is. Garnish with salsa and sour cream.
