Ingredients
  

4 whole wheat tortillas

1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or Monterey Jack)

1 cup fresh spinach, chopped

1 cup bell peppers, diced (any color)

1 cup mushrooms, sliced

1 small onion, diced

1 clove garlic, minced

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 teaspoon chili powder

1/2 teaspoon cumin

Salt and pepper to taste

Optional: salsa and guacamole for serving

Instructions
 

In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and minced garlic, sautéing for about 2-3 minutes or until the onion becomes translucent.

    Add the bell peppers and mushrooms to the skillet. Cook for another 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables soften.

      Stir in the chopped spinach, chili powder, cumin, salt, and pepper. Cook for an additional 2 minutes, just until the spinach wilts. Remove the skillet from heat.

        Wipe the skillet clean and return it to the stove over medium heat. Place one tortilla in the skillet.

          Sprinkle half of the shredded cheese evenly over the tortilla, then top with half of the veggie mixture. Sprinkle the remaining cheese on top before placing another tortilla over it.

            Cook for about 3-4 minutes, or until the bottom tortilla is golden brown and the cheese begins to melt. Carefully flip the quesadilla using a spatula, and cook for another 3-4 minutes on the other side until golden and crispy.

              Remove from the skillet and let it cool for a minute before cutting into wedges.

                Serve with salsa and guacamole, if desired. Enjoy!
