White Bean Quesadilla Recipe

cheddar cheese

🥗Healthier: low-fat cheese

💰Cheaper: monterey jack

Low-fat cheese reduces calories while maintaining creaminess.

sour cream

🥗Healthier: Greek yogurt

💰Cheaper: plain yogurt

Greek yogurt offers similar tanginess with fewer calories.

flour tortillas

🥗Healthier: whole wheat tortillas

💰Cheaper: corn tortillas

Whole wheat provides more fiber, while corn is often less expensive.

jalapeño

🥗Healthier: bell pepper

💰Cheaper: banana pepper

Bell peppers are milder and can be more affordable.

Drain and rinse the kidney beans.

Mix the kidney beans and all the spices into one large mixing bowl.

Chop the spinach and add it to the bean mixture.

Add the sour cream and cheese to the mixture and stir to combine.

Place a skillet on the stove on medium-high heat.

Place a tortilla on a plate for easier transfer to the skillet.

Scoop some of the bean mixture onto half of the tortilla and fold it in half.

Cook the quesadilla until brown and crispy on the outside and melted on the inside, flipping carefully to cook the other side.

Once both sides are cooked, serve with salsa.
