spinach and tomato quesadilla

Monday night, I was a hungry girl. The kind of hungry where I couldn't make decisions, including what to eat for dinner. So I kept putting it off as I ran around the house whining about being starving. And then I went to the grocery store. Disclaimer- I do not under any circumstances recommend going to the grocery store while hungry because you will spend ten times more than usual. Except... I was still so indecisive that I this time I some how did not spend more money than usual. And I came home with ingredients for last night's sweet potato gratin and tonight's fish tacos and still nothing to satiate my crazy hunger. And then out of nowhere, as if my body took over, I was wilting baby spinach leaves with some garlic and a drop or two of EVOO and slicing a tomato and putting them on a corn tortilla with a little bit of sharp cheddar and before my eyes a quesadilla was forming. By even more of a happy accident, I accidentally made it into a crispy quesadilla as the tortilla fried in the tiny bit of oil (smart balance + omega 3) I had in the pan. I topped it with a dollop of greek yogurt and some cilantro (but this wasn't needed)

lousy photo... but I'm honestly surprised I took a photo before I jumped in.

It was delicious. And not just because I was so hungry I'd think anything was delicious. It really was. The veggies were so fresh, and the tiny bit of cheese was so melty against the crisp tortilla. Other bonuses were the fact that it took five whole minutes to make, and it was actually quite healthful.  Yippee.
