Spinach and Mushroom Quesadillas

Ingredients

4 large flour tortillas or 8 small flour tortillas
1 package Mexican or Spanish Rice (or brown or white rice – enough for 4)
1 can Rotel or canned tomatoes (approx 12-13 oz), drained
1 box frozen spinach or 1 bunch fresh spinach
8 oz fresh mushrooms, sliced
4 oz shredded cheddar or 4-cheese blend
Garlic powder

Pepper

Cook rice according to directions on package. Once rice is done, add 1 can tomatoes and garlic and pepper to rice. Cook frozen spinach in microwave and drain well. Saute mushrooms in olive oil spray. If using fresh spinach, add to mushrooms for about 1 minute after mushrooms are done. Heat large skillet to medium. Place one tortilla on bottom of pan. Layer rice, spinach, mushrooms then cheese. Place another tortilla on top. Cook until lightly browned and then carefully flip over and cook other side until lightly browned. Serve with chopped lettuce, fresh tomatoes, light sour cream and guacamole or salsa on top. One large quesadilla serves 2. Each small quesadilla serves 1. Serve with a side of corn and fruit for dessert.

Sauteed green peppers and onions are also great in his dish. You can also add chopped cooked chicken, beef, shrimp or tofu to this dish to increase the protein content. Enjoy!
