cheddar cheese

🥗Healthier: reduced-fat cheese

💰Cheaper: monterey jack cheese

Reduced-fat cheese lowers calories while still melting well.

sour cream

🥗Healthier: Greek yogurt

💰Cheaper: plain yogurt

Greek yogurt adds creaminess with fewer calories.

flour tortillas

🥗Healthier: whole wheat tortillas

💰Cheaper: corn tortillas

Whole wheat tortillas offer more fiber, while corn tortillas are often less expensive.

jalapeño

🥗Healthier: bell pepper

💰Cheaper: banana pepper

Bell pepper provides sweetness without heat, and banana peppers are often cheaper.

Drain the beans and rinse thoroughly. Once drained, transfer them to a mixing bowl.

Add chili powder, ground cumin, garlic powder, and salt to the beans. Stir to combine.

Add chopped spinach, ranch dressing, and shredded cheddar cheese to the beans and spices mixture. Stir to combine.

Divide the mixture evenly in each tortilla. Fold them in half.

Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook one or two Quesadillas at a time until they get brown and crispy on the outside, while the cheese melts inside.

Cut Quesadillas in half and serve with Chipotle Salsa or Simple Sour Cream or Guacamole.
