This year my goal is to incorporate more healthy ingredients into my quick and easy family recipes, hopefully I stick with this goal. One of my favorite meals to make my family are quesadillas, so since I have the healthy mindset I decided to change it up a little and make them Beef Spinach Quesadillas.
I love quesadillas, but I normally simply add fajita meat with lots of cheese. Since I am trying to incorporate some healthy into my family’s diet I decided to take a spin on the regular quesadilla and add some spinach.

The Beef Spinach Quesadilla is so delicious and a family friendly dish. After you have prepared all of your quesadillas you may find that you have extra spinach mix. This can be used as a tortilla chip topping or eaten alone. It’s delicious.

I love a good Quesadillas. I’ve never made beef and spinach. Usually when I eat out I just get plain cheese.
These look delicious! I haven’t had quesadillas of any kind in a long while… not sure why they are so easy to make.

Quesadillas are one of my faves. I’d make this veggie version for me, and full of that beef for hubby and the kids, and we’d all be happy campers!!
I’m cutting down on the amount of meat I eat and serve my family but I’m all over spinach quesadillas! These look and sound fantastic and easy to make.
That looks yummy.
I was never one that liked quesadillas much. However, this one sounds fantastic!
I am a vegan (mostly raw), so I couldn’t have this one, but it does sound like a delicious meal. And even better that it is healthy
I am also vegan. You can try this great meat substitute -Lightlife smart ground. I’m trying this recipe tonight.
This is actually a really healthy quesadillas, nothing better than some nice beef, cheese and a big helping of spinach!
I love spinach added to just about everything and I just recently have really started enjoying quesadillas. I never thought to put the two together. This looks delicious.
I love quesadillas! Looks great.
Sounds really simple and delicious! I’ve only had cheese quesadillas. I want to try this recipe for my lunches!
This looks delicious – sadly I cannot eat beef though, I wonder if it would work with turkey or lamb?
Yes! I normally use turkey but was out.
I love Quesadillas. I like to add extra veggies to mine, but I don’t think I’ve used spinach in a while. I need to make these.

Those pics make it impossible to not try this recipe! I can’t wait to make this for my son and hubby! Something a little different for them 🙂
Yes, this is my dinner for tonight – great and timely share!
I think this looks like a great idea. Good to change things up a little. I don’t make quesadillas often because I feel as if it is a glorified grilled cheese, but to me….this makes a meal.
Quesadillas are my FAVORITE…so easy and so versatile. You can honestly put anything into one and they fast great…Your tortillas look like they have the PERFECT crispiness. 🙂
YUMMY! I’m in such a spinach phase these days – this looks delish!
Oh my goodness!!! You have helped me make my meal plan for this week! I’ve been pretty lazy about it. (Should’ve been done yesterday) Pinning, saving, tweeting, sharing, Sverving, you name it! I’m doing it. 🙂
Thank you
omg looks so yummy – it has been such a long time since I had eaten this one – one of my favorites – i need to work on how to make this lol
This may sound funny to you but I have never eaten a quesadillas in my whole life. This one is the first one that has made me want to. I will definitely give it a try.
I love my spinach and I normally put them in all my tacos now and I thought about doing them with quesadillas but hadn’t gotten a chance to yet. The combination looks so good!
Mmm. The combination of beef and spinach is amazing, and I can envision these quesadillas as melty and melt-in-your-mouth delicious! I’m digging the addition of spinach, too. While it’s not a “traditional” ingredient, I bet it elevates this dish AND adds more healthy goodness!
Yum!!! These look great. Before going grain-free one of my favorite quick and easy meals was Black Beans Quesadillas with corn and roasted pepers.
I’m sure I can eat this I would omit the Tomatoes out of it but I could eat anything else and I am sure my family would eat it. It sounds great to me.
These look delicious! I love quesadillas.
These look amazing! Definitely adding to my menu.

Wow! These look amazing and simple to make. I’m definitely adding this recipe to the mix of meals I make my family. Thanks for posting it!
These sound super yummy and easy! I’m always on the lookout for tasty, healthy & quick meals. I really think this recipe will be a keeper for us because ground beef is one of only very few meats that my 3 yr old will eat! Thanks for posting!
I totally want to make these, wow! I like spinach quesadillas, you can’t go wrong!
Those sound super yummy! I am a big fan of pretty much anything with spinach 🙂
