This was excellent! As kellyann7750 said, the quesadillas don't stay crisp for long, but it sure doesn't take long to eat them -- ooey, gooey goodness. I took her suggestion and mixed the garlic powder and cumin with the lemon juice before adding it to the pan. Just wonderful!

It was delicious! I will add chicken or seafood next time though.

I like the idea of this recipe so I'm not giving up on it. I drained the spinach and chopped it up but it was all still so gooey that the quesadilla didn't stay crisp for long. Also, the cumin didn't get mixed in well so some bites had a lot and some had none. Next time, I'm going to saute the spinach separately and squeeze it between some paper towels to really get it dry. Also, I plan on mixing the lemon juice and spices together and let it marinate over the tomatoes while I saute and squeeze the spinach. I'm hoping that helps. Oh - and a tiny pinch of salt, too.

Super tasty! I couldn't find any good-looking tomatoes so I used canned diced ones, drained, and I also used lime juice instead of lemon. Served with a spicy black bean soup. Yum!

Quesadillas are one of my favorites. All of my grandchildren (there are 21, but one is just a baby) love quesadillas. Been introducing some of them to spinach recently and this is a great way for them to enjoy it.

This was very good but I substituted cottage cheese for the ricotta because I don't care for it. Next time I think I'll use a little less cumin, it was a little overpowering. These go great with my homemade refried beans.

My husband and I added black beans to add some extra protein for a nice vegetarian meal!

Excellent recipe. I added pre-cooked grilled chicken and some garlic to make a complete (non-vegetarian) meal.
