Ingredients

  • 1 (8-oz.) container fat-free cream cheese
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper
  • 8 (8-inch) flour tortillas

  • 1 medium red bell pepper, finely chopped (1 cup)
  • 4 oz. (1 cup) crumbled feta cheese

Steps

  • 1
    In small bowl, combine cream cheese, garlic powder and pepper; blend well. Spread 2 tablespoons cream cheese mixture on each tortilla. Sprinkle about 2 tablespoons each of spinach, bell pepper and cheese on half of each tortilla; fold tortillas in half.
  • 2
    Heat large nonstick skillet over medium heat until hot. Place 2 folded tortillas in skillet; cook 1 to 2 minutes on each side or until golden brown.
  • 3
    Remove quesadillas from skillet; place on platter. Cover with foil to keep warm. Repeat with remaining folded tortillas. Cut each quesadilla into 4 wedges. Serve warm.

Tips from the Betty Crocker Kitchens

  • tip 1
    Jarred roasted red bell peppers can be used in place of the fresh bell pepper in these spinach and cheese quesadillas. To use jarred peppers, drain and pat them dry with a paper towel, then chop enough strips to equal one pepper.
  • tip 2
    For perfectly crisp spinach quesadillas, you'll want to thoroughly squeeze out any excess moisture from the cooked spinach. After pressing the cooked spinach against a strainer, arrange it on two layers of paper towels, then roll it up and twist it.
