Ingredients
  

  • 8 ounces cream cheese at room temperature
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 2 cups grated Havarti cheese divided
  • ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • a pinch red pepper flakes
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 9 ounces frozen chopped spinach defrosted and squeezed dry
  • 14 ounces artichoke hearts drained and chopped
  • 18 pieces street taco tortillas
  • 1 tablespoon butter or olive oil for cooking

Equipment

  • Mixing Bowl
  • Spoon or spatula
  • Skillet or Griddle
  • Sharp Knife
  • Serving Platter

Method
 

  1. In a mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, sour cream, 1 cup of grated Havarti cheese, Parmesan cheese, minced garlic, red pepper flakes, kosher salt, and black pepper. Mix until smooth and well combined. Be sure to taste and adjust seasoning as needed!
  2. Fold in the defrosted and drained spinach along with the chopped artichoke hearts into the cheese mixture. Stir until everything is evenly distributed. The filling should be thick and creamy, with flecks of green from the spinach.
  3. Heat a skillet or griddle over medium heat and add half a tablespoon of butter or olive oil. Place one tortilla in the skillet and spread a generous amount of the spinach dip filling on one half of the tortilla. Sprinkle with additional Havarti cheese for extra melty goodness.
  4. Fold the tortilla over the filling, creating a half-moon shape. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on one side, or until it’s golden brown and crispy. Carefully flip the quesadilla and cook the other side for another 3-4 minutes. Repeat with the remaining tortillas and filling.
  5. Once cooked, remove the quesadillas from the skillet and let them cool for a minute. Use a sharp knife to slice them into wedges. Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauces, such as salsa or sour cream.

Notes

  • Prepare the filling ahead of time and store it in the refrigerator for up to two days.
  • For extra crispy quesadillas, cook on medium-high heat but watch closely to avoid burning.
  • Warm tortillas before adding filling to prevent tearing.
