Ingredients
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 medium bell peppers, any color, cut into ¼-inch strips
  • 1 onion, thinly sliced
  • 2 cups fresh spinach, heaping
  • 1 teaspoon taco seasoning
  • 8 soft taco shells, burrito size
  • 1 16-ounce can refried beans
  • 2 cups shredded cheese, Monterey Jack and cheddar
Directions
  1. Preheat oven to 425 F.
  2. Heat the oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the onions and pepper and sauté for 4-5 minutes until tender-crisp.
  3. Add the taco seasoning and stir to coat. Add the spinach and toss lightly, heating it for about 1 minute. Remove from heat.
  4. Place the tortillas on a baking sheet to form a large pocket. Line the sheet with two tortillas on each long side, overlapping in the middle. Add a tortilla at each short end of the pan and place one tortilla in the middle, creating a row of tortillas, lengthwise.
  5. Spread the refried beans in a large rectangle in the center of the tortillas.
  6. Top the refried beans with the onion and pepper mixture.
  7. Sprinkle the cheese evenly over the onions and peppers.
  8. Place the final tortilla in the center of the filling. Fold in the ends of the remaining tortillas toward the middle to form a large envelope, encasing the fillings. Place another baking sheet on top of the quesadilla to prevent it from opening while baking.
  9. Place the pans in the preheated oven and bake for 20 minutes. Remove the top pan and bake for an additional 5 minutes.
  10. Remove the quesadillas from the oven and allow them to cool slightly before slicing.
  11. Serve with your favorite toppings, like salsa, guacamole, and sour cream, as desired.
