My husband and I had these for dinner tonight, and we loved them! I used all cheddar cheese, and added a little extra spinach (I used baby spinach). I divided the mixture between 4 quesadillas, and we had 1 each for dinner, and will have the leftovers for lunch tomorrow! Yum! [Made for Aus/NZ Recipe Swap]

These were a good light lunch today. I made 2 quesadillas and added extra cheese. I used monterey jack cheese (pepper jack is too hot for me) and left out the cilantro (really do NOT like the stuff). Was very good and not too heavy tasting. Made for 1-2-3-Hits March 2010.

These are incredible for the low amount of calories (I mean, two?) But I think they needed about double the cheese to be really good. The little bursts of shrimp and green chili were very good.
