CHICKEN AND VEGETABLE QUESADILLAS
I came up with this recipe one random day when I craving a light southwest meal. It is simple and healthy! Mix and match vegetables to optimize to your taste. It is quite easy to overfill the quesadillas, making them a disaster to flip. Fill according to tortilla size and flip carefully or use a quesadilla maker.

Yield Makes 4 quesadillas

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).
