Quesadillas with Cauliflower, Peas, and Spinach



Flatbreads stuffed with cauliflower, peas and spinach was the original recipe and I was going to make it gluten free, but I ran out of time.  Instead, I made the insides and used them inside tortillas with a little cheese to stick it all together, thus making them quesadillas.  The girls gobbled them up and Kevin asked for more. 

Insides:
1/2 head (3 cups) steamed cauliflower, mashed
1 tablespoon olive oil
3/4 teaspoon cumin * called for seeds
1 teaspoon ground coriander
* 1/2 teaspoon tumeric *...didn't have...next time
6 cups baby spinach, chopped
3/4 cup frozen peas, thawed
salt * called for coarse

Heat oil in pan and add cumin.  Once the cumin is fragrant add coriander and tumeric.  Then stir in spinach until wilted.  Add peas, then cauliflower.  Salt to your liking. 

Get your griddle warmed up and make your quesadillas...  I put a little shredded cheese on bottom tortilla, added the veggie insides, then sprinkled a little more cheese on that and topped with a second tortilla.  We tried mozzarella and cheddar.  Then, we enjoyed it with salsa. 

Original recipe from:  Whole Living Magazine, number 68

That sounds delicious! I wonder if Gage would go for it..he doesn't really like peas. Maybe though!
