    My Chicken, Cheese and Pesto Quesadillas were the start of a flurry of Quesadilla recipes I’ve been making over the past few months, all thanks to pregnancy cravings.  Since trying these Spinach Pesto and Cheese Quesadillas, they’ve been making an appearance at least once a week on my dinner plate. Spinach Pesto and Cheese QuesadillasAlthough the boys weren’t a huge fan of the ‘green stuff’ in these Quesadillas, they still ate most of what was on their plate and loved the strings of cheese they created with each bite.

    When it comes to the types of cheese you use to make these Quesadillas, you can make do with whatever you have but I think the feta and mozzarella are a winning combination and complement the spinach really well.

    As well as being a great lunch or light dinner, these Spinach Cheese and Pesto Quesadillas are also a great after school snack for the kids and you can even serve them up at your next party – they are a great vegetarian option.  You can easily make more of these Quesadillas by doubling or even tripling the ingredients and you can use a couple of frying pans on your stove to cook a few at a a time.

      Can I replaced the feta cheese with a different type of cheese? Or something else that can replace that? My kids are really picky eaters and don’t like the taste of feta
