Directions

Directions

  1. Heat 1 tbsp of the olive oil in a non-stick pan over medium-high heat. Add the mushrooms and spinach, and sauté for about 5 minutes, until the spinach wilts and most of the liquid has cooked off. Add the garlic and sauté for 30 seconds. Remove the mixture from the pan and set aside in a bowl.

  2. Spray the pan with cooking spray. Place 1 tortilla in the pan and spread 1/4 of the spinach-mushroom mixture on one half of the tortilla. Mix the two types of cheese together and spread 1/4 cup cheese over the spinach-mushroom mixture. Fold the tortilla in half. Cook for 1-2 minutes. Flip the tortilla and cook for 1-2 more minutes, until golden brown. Cut your quesadilla into triangles.

  3. Repeat procedure for remaining 3 quesadillas.

  4. Prepare the salad: Whisk together the remaining 3 tbsp olive oil, lime juice, and honey (or combine in a shaker). Toss the dressing in a large bowl with the romaine lettuce. Serve each quesadilla along with 2 cups salad.
