Want to wow your family, unexpected guests or, anyone, for that matter? Then, serve this Spinach Wrap Quesadilla and watch mouths water expeditiously!
The fact of the matter is....whether you choose to use my recipe or leftovers from last night's dinner, quesadillas are always a win on those quick-fix kinda days. Oh yea! I know you can feel the love....
This is a recipe I actually came up with on a whim after running errands. I didn’t really feel like cooking a whole meal but, I knew I wanted something cheesy, crunchy and comforting. My eyes immediately focused on the spinach wraps I had sitting all comfy, cozy and unopened on my counter. PERRFF!
Below, is a little instructional video I put together. Don't get too spoiled because, I won't be doing these vids for EVERY post. LOL!
Don't fret, I included detailed Ingredients and instructions below! :o)
