Appetizer -- Mediterranean Quesadillas
1 small sweet onion, chopped
1 Tbsp. olive oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
6 cups baby spinach
4 oz. feta cheese
3 oz. cream cheese
One half cup ricotta cheese
1 tsp. fresh lemon juice
One quarter tsp. ground cumin
One quarter tsp. ground nutmeg
Salt and pepper to taste
4 8-inch flour tortillas
Non-stick cooking spray
Saute onion in the oil in a skillet for several minutes until tender, add garlic and saute for about one minute, add spinach and cook for several minutes until it starts to wilt. Drain mixture on paper towels. Combine cheeses and next 4 ingredients and mix well. Combine with spinach mixture. Spread mixture onto each tortilla. Fold tortilla over and press to seal along edges. Spray skillet with cooking spray and cook each quesadilla for several minutes on each side, remove and cut into quarters. Serve with salsa if desired.
The Skinny: Use light cream cheese and fat free tortillas.
