My Quick Lunch

Easy Quesadilla... sort of no real spice here!

My lunch was a quick "what do I have in the fridge" kind of thing.

I had a package of Tomato Basil sandwich wraps, some baby spinach & grape tomatoes and I always have some kind of cheese on hand.

2 sandwich wraps
2 grape tomatoes quartered & seeded
6 baby spinach leaves
hand full of shredded mozzarella cheese
hand full of shredded cheddar cheese
pan spray

I sprayed my flat griddle pan put down a wrap, then the mozzarella, spinach, tomatoes, cheddar & second wrap.

Fry until the cheese is melted & the wrap is lightly browned.

Cut into wedges, I usually use my pizza cutter for this, and enjoy!
