Though not a traditional Mexican duo, the delicious combination of blue cheese and spicy beef adds fabulous flavor to these quesadillas. They're sure to please your Super Bowl crowd. Frozen chopped kale is a sturdier swap for the spinach. No taco sauce? No worries. Substitute your favorite hot sauce here instead. If blue cheese doesn't float your boat, keep it traditional and substitute a crumbly, aged Mexican cheese like cotija here instead.

Ingredients

Cooked 80% lean ground beef

cup(s)

Taco sauce

3 Tbsp

10" high fiber, low carb flour tortilla

4 item(s)

Blue cheese

4 oz, crumbled

Chopped frozen spinach

10 oz, thawed and squeezed dry

Red pepper flakes

½ tsp

Instructions

  1. In a small bowl, stir together beef and taco sauce.
  2. Lay two tortillas on a flat surface and divide beef mixture between them. Sprinkle each tortilla with half of cheese, spinach and red pepper flakes; top each with a remaining tortilla.
  3. Set a large, heavy nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Place one quesadilla in skillet and cook until brown spots form on bottom of tortilla, about 3 to 4 minutes; flip and cook until brown spots form again, about 3 to 4 minutes. Remove quesadilla to a large cutting board and cover to keep warm; repeat with remaining quesadilla.
  4. Cut each quesadilla into 8 wedges and serve. Yields 2 wedges per serving.
