  • 4 cloves garlic peeled and minced
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes halved

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 425°F. Place a wire rack into a rimmed baking sheet and spray with nonstick cooking spray.

  • Add bell pepper and spinach, cook for 3-4 minutes until spinach wilts. Remove from heat and set aside.
  • Line the wire rack with tortillas, overlapping to cover completely.
  • Spread chicken over tortillas, leaving edges. Top with cooked veggies and cheese.
  • Place remaining tortillas over filling, fold edges over to secure.
  • Place another baking sheet on top to prevent curling. Bake for 20 minutes.
  • Remove top sheet, drizzle with olive oil, bake for 8-10 minutes until golden.
  • Let cool for 5 minutes, then cut into 9 squares.
  • Top with guacamole, sour cream, and cilantro.

Notes

  • Use a wire rack to keep quesadillas crispy.

  • Adjust bake time based on your oven for golden brown quesadillas.
  • Feel free to customize with different veggies and cheese!
