1 Chicken, Spinach, Goat Cheese Quesadillas with Avocado Sour Cream

Happy Sunday! I hope y'all have had a wonderful weekend!
These quesadillas are an easy meal to put together on weeknights but are so so incredible! :-)
I especially loved the goat cheese aspect and the Avocado Sour Cream! :-)

Chicken, Spinach, Goat Cheese Quesadilla Ingredients:
Flour Totrillas (whole wheat would work fine too)
Chicken (cooked and sliced)
Garlic (1 tsp., minced)
Baby Spinach (1 pre packaged bag)
Salt, Pepper, & Cayenne Pepper to taste
Goat Cheese (4 oz, crumbled)
Reduced Fat Shredded Monterey Jack
Non-Stick cooking spray or olive oil
Directions
Heat the spinach with the garlic, salt, pepper, and cayenne pepper over medium-low heat in a pan until just wilted. Remove from heath and set aside.
Heat the grill pan (or regular pan) over medium-high heat. Spray with non-stick cooking spray or drizzle with olive oil. Toast the inside of the tortilla for about 30 seconds.
Take the tortilla off the grill pan and assemble as follows. Over half the quessadilla sprinkle about 2 tablespoons of monterey jack cheese, following by a few slices of chicken, then the spinach, then the crumbled goat cheese.
Add to the grill pan and cook for about 1 - 2 minutes. Carefully use a spatula to flip the empty half of the tortilla onto the loaded half. At this point I like to let the quesadilla cook for about 30 more seconds, then flip it over. Give it another 1 -2 minutes, then remove from the pan and enjoy!
Avocado Sour Cream
Ingredients
1 Avocado, chopped
1/3 c. sour cream
1 T maynoaise
1 lime juice
1/4 t onion powder
salt and pepper to taste
Directions
Use a fork to mash the avocado as much as you can. (You can put it in the food processor if you want a smoother dip, but I just use a fork and a spoon).
Combine it with all other ingredients and stir together.
Note: If you want a thinner dip, stir in a few tablespoons of buttermilk. If you want a smoother dip, throw everything in the food processor. Sugar Cooking
Pin It!

  1. I looove avocado, but I'm not sure about using it as sour cream. I love sour cream with quesadillas and will probably stick with the regular kind. However, the quesadilla recipe sounds really good - I love the idea of the spinach in it! I hate spinach by itself but LOVE it in other dishes (not to hide it either, for some reason, I think the flavor is just better)!
