Spinach Avocado Quesadilla

I’m a momma.  A stay at home momma.  I make lunch.  Seven days a week.  I hate making lunch.  I get stuck in this rut of trying to make something easy and quick that my kids will eat.  My kids aren’t particularly picky, but they have the attention span of… wait, what was I saying?  They get bored easily.  So, lunch has to be quick and easy to make as well as quick and easy for them to eat.  And Big J has a weird sensory thing about getting food on his hands.

We have the usual fall-backs: Mac & Cheese, PB&J, hot dogs, spaghetti-O’s… you know, kid food.  Bland and somewhat boring.  Although, I have a weird thing for Spaghetti-O’s.  I get bored with their boring food, but I don’t have time to make everyone separate meals everyday.  So, I have to find ways to liven up their food so I don’t get insanely bored with eating.  Because I like to eat… it should be enjoyable.  This is my newest favorite spin on the quesadilla!

SPINACH AVOCADO QUESADILLA
 
Ingredients:
– 1/2 ripe avocado
– 14 pepperoni rounds
– spinach leaves
– shredded mozzarella cheese
– 2 wheat tortillas
Directions:
– Lightly butter a frying pan over medium heat.  Place one tortilla in the pan.
– Mash the avocado and spread it over the tortilla in the pan.
– Lay down the pepperoni in a single layer across the avocado.
– Spread the shredded mozzarella cheese over the pepperoni in a thin layer.
– Lay down a layer of spinach over the cheese.
– Sprinkle more cheese over the spinach.  Place the other tortilla on top.
– Flip the quesadilla and cover for approximately 2-3 minutes.
– Remove from the pan, and cut into slices.  Serve.
So there you have it.  A quesadilla for grown ups.
