Time 25m

Yield Makes 4 quesadillas

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 ounces (56 grams) freshly grated Parmesan cheese, plus 1 cup for crusting
2 ounces (56 grams) shredded mozzarella
2 ounces (56 grams) shredded Cheddar
2 ounces fresh spinach (about 2 cups), sliced
3/4 cup cooked quinoa
1/2 cup frozen whole kernel corn
1/2 cup drained, canned unsalted black beans, rinsed and drained again
Four 8-inch (20-centimeter) flour tortillas
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Nonstick cooking spray

Steps:

  • Combine the 2 ounces Parmesan with the mozzarella and Cheddar with your fingers in a small bowl and set aside.
  • Wrap the spinach in paper towels to remove excess moisture. Transfer to a large bowl and add the quinoa, corn and beans. Stir to combine and set aside.
  • Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium heat.
  • Meanwhile, place the tortillas on a clean work surface. Working on only the lower halves, divide 1/2 of the cheese blend among the 4 tortillas; top with the spinach-quinoa filling, then sprinkle on the remaining cheese blend. The cheeses are usually salty enough, but season with salt and pepper, if desired. Fold each tortilla in half to make a half-moon.
  • Spray the preheated skillet with nonstick cooking spray for about 3 seconds to coat. Add 2 of the quesadillas to the skillet and cook until the cheese starts to melt and the tortillas are light brown, about 3 minutes. Transfer the quesadillas, cooked side-down, to a plate. Repeat with the remaining 2 quesadillas.
  • Sprinkle 1/4 cup of the Parmesan into the skillet in a half-moon shape, then place 1 quesadilla, cooked side-up, directly on the Parmesan to create a crust. Continue to cook until the Parmesan crust browns and the cheese filling is fully melted, about 3 minutes. Remove from the heat and repeat with the remaining Parmesan and quesadillas. Serve immediately or make ahead and keep warm (see Cook's Note).

I loved the idea of these quesadillas, but they were a bit too spicy for me. Next time, I'll use less chili powder.

I'm not a fan of zucchini, but I actually really enjoyed these quesadillas. The parmesan crust and the other vegetables really balanced out the flavor.

These quesadillas were a bit too greasy for my taste. I think I'll try them again with less oil.

I thought these quesadillas were just okay. The parmesan crust was a bit too thick and the vegetables were a little bland.
