🌿🧀 Beefy Spinach Artichoke Quesadillas
(Crispy, cheesy, and savory quesadillas stuffed with seasoned beef, creamy spinach artichoke dip, and melty cheese.)
🛒 Ingredients (for 4 quesadillas):
- 1 lb ground beef (or turkey)
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tsp chili powder
- 1 tsp cumin
- Salt & pepper, to taste
- 1 cup frozen spinach (thawed and drained)
- 1 cup canned artichoke hearts (drained and chopped)
- 1/2 cup cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1/2 cup mozzarella cheese (shredded)
- 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese (shredded)
- 4 large flour tortillas
- 1 cup shredded Mexican blend cheese (or cheddar for more sharpness)
- Butter or oil for grilling
🔥 How to Make:
1. Cook the Beef:
- In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef with olive oil
- Add the diced onion and minced garlic, cooking until softened
- Season with chili powder, cumin, salt, and pepper, then stir well and cook until beef is browned and fully cooked through
- Remove from heat and set aside
2. Make the Spinach Artichoke Filling:
- In a separate bowl, combine the thawed spinach, chopped artichoke hearts, cream cheese, sour cream, mozzarella, and Parmesan
- Mix until creamy and well combined
- Stir in the cooked beef mixture into the spinach artichoke mixture
- Adjust seasoning if necessary (a pinch of salt or a sprinkle of garlic powder works great here!)
3. Assemble the Quesadillas:
- Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat
- Place one tortilla in the skillet and spread about 1/4 of the beef-spinach-artichoke filling evenly over it
- Sprinkle with shredded Mexican blend cheese
- Top with a second tortilla
- Cook for about 3–4 minutes per side, pressing gently with a spatula, until both sides are golden brown and the cheese is fully melted inside
- Repeat with remaining tortillas and filling
4. Serve:
- Cut the quesadillas into wedges
- Serve with sour cream, salsa, or guacamole for dipping!
