Comment
We had a quesadilla taste test, with a class of adults, using this recipe and the Pear Quesadilla recipe, and it was a tie -- everyone liked both recipes. We used chicken instead of turkey, but this recipe was still a big hit. Even people who HATED spinach liked it (I did use fresh spinach, so that made a difference)!
Another awesome recipe -- thanks Food Hero!
