Butternut Squash and Spinach Quesadillas
I was intrigued by the Pioneer Woman’s Butternut Squash and Kale Quesadillas recipe. A squash-filled flour tortilla would be in keeping with for our weekly Tex-Mex Tuesday tradition, yet was the perfect fall twist. (And, I’m always looking for ways to keep our Tuesday menu fresh and new.)
I switched out the kale for spinach and left off the chili powder (otherwise, I would have to eat ALL of the quesadillas at our house.) So, I can’t speak to the deliciousness of the original recipe, although I’m sure it is awesome. But, these buttery fried tortillas filled with sauteed butternut squash, spinach and mozzarella cheese (or a vegan substitute for my darling daughter) are divine.
Butternut squash and spinach quesadillas are a sublime treat, except that they're not a dessert at all but rather a delicious meatless meal or appetizer.
