Who doesn't love quesadillas??

Honestly, tortillas and cheese?? What's not to love! So we decided to add some yummy garden goodies to our quesadillas to pump up the nutritional value in these yummy eats.

Swiss chard and spinach anyone?
Swiss chard is a dark leafy green that is full of vitamins A, K and C. It is also rich in minerals, dietary fiber and protein.[4]

So we began to google Swiss chard recipes and found this:

So we made out our concoction...

Cook time: 5 mins
Ingredients:
-1 1/2 tablespoons vegetable oil or olive oil

-A big bunch of Swiss chard thick lower stems cut off 
-A big bunch of spinach
-Salt to taste
-12 warm corn tortillas
-1 cup low-fat cheese (we used mozzarella)




-Heat the oil in a pan,
-Add the garlic and let saute for a few minutes to release all the flavor (don't let it burn)
