Directions
Thaw spinach and squeeze by hand to remove as much moisture as possible; set aside.
Spray non-stick oil in a large saucepan. Saute onion and garlic over med-high heat until translucent, then add carrots, corn, herbs, and spices. Continue to saute until veggies are tender but still bright in color. Reduce heat to low and add spinach in loosened handfuls. Toss well with other ingredients and saute just long enough to tenderize spinach.
Place a skillet lightly w/ nonstick spray over med-high heat and lay a tortilla inside. Cover with a handful of cheese and a layer of 1/4 of the spinach mixture. When cheese begins to melt, fold tortilla in half. Brown each side of quesadilla as desired and repeat with remaining tortillas. Serve w/ salsa, sour cream, or guacamole.
