Jalapeño Popper Quesadillas

wanted to do something different with a well
known finger food..with a little bit of inspiration
from Pinterest and putting my twist on it....

INGREDIENTS:
8 oz. softened cream cheese
2 thinly sliced jalapeños
½ c. finely chopped spinach
½ c. diced tomato (no seeds or pulp)
¼ c. finely chopped/minced red onion
2 stalks chopped green onion
¼ tsp. granulated garlic
salt to taste
6-8 small flour tortillas
olive oil OR cooking spray

INSTRUCTIONS:
1. in a bowl, combine cream cheese, jalapeños,
spinach, tomatoes, onion, garlic and salt
2. spread 2-3 tablespoons of the filling on half
of each tortilla then fold (if necessary, warm
the tortillas first to make them more pliable)
3. lightly grease a pan with either olive oil or
non-stick cooking spray on medium heat
4. arrange quesadillas single layered in the
pan to brown & crisp 1-2 min. on each side
5. allow quesadillas to cool a bit if cutting
them into halves before serving with desired
dipping sauce
