Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/2 cup chopped onion
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 (10 ounce) package frozen chopped spinach, thawed and squeezed very dry
  • 1 (14 ounce) can artichoke hearts, drained and roughly chopped
  • 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese, divided
  • 1/2 cup shredded Parmesan cheese
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 8 large flour tortillas
  • 1 tablespoon butter or cooking spray

Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add onion and cook until soft, about 5 minutes.
  2. Add garlic and cook for 1 minute more until fragrant.
  3. In a medium bowl, combine the squeezed dry spinach, chopped artichoke hearts, softened cream cheese, sour cream, 1/2 cup of the Monterey Jack cheese, Parmesan cheese, salt, and pepper. Mix well.
  4. Spread the spinach mixture evenly over one half of each of the 8 tortillas. Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup Monterey Jack cheese over the filling.
  5. Fold the empty half of each tortilla over the filling to create a half-moon shape.
  6. Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly butter or spray the surface.
  7. Place one or two quesadillas on the hot surface. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes per side, pressing gently with a spatula, until the tortilla is golden brown and the cheese is melted and gooey.
  8. Remove from the skillet, let cool slightly, and slice into wedges. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • Squeeze all excess water from the thawed spinach. This prevents a watery filling.
  • If you prefer a tangier flavor, substitute plain Greek yogurt for the sour cream.
  • Serve with salsa, guacamole, or extra sour cream for dipping.
