Health benefits of Grilled Spinach and Poblano Quesadillas

Spinach is a nutrient-dense leafy green vegetable that is rich in vitamins A, C, and K, as well as iron, magnesium, and antioxidants. The high iron content in spinach helps combat anemia, which is common in women with PCOS. Magnesium helps reduce inflammation and improve insulin sensitivity. The antioxidants in spinach can help lower oxidative stress, which is beneficial for managing PCOS symptoms. Including spinach in your diet can support overall health and well-being.

Ingredients

2 small red onions
3/4 lb. tomatoes
1 tbsp. fresh lime juice
Lime wedges
kosher salt
Pepper
1 c. fresh cilantro
4 medium flour tortillas
6 oz. Monterey Jack cheese
4 c. baby spinach
2 poblano peppers
2 medium peppers (red, yellow, orange, or a combination)
1 tbsp. olive oil
Grilled corn on the cob
sour cream

Instructions

Heat grill to medium. Finely chop 2 onion wedges. In a medium bowl, combine the tomatoes, chopped onion, lime juice, and 1/4 teaspoon each salt and pepper; fold in one-third of the cilantro. Set aside.
Place the tortillas on a large rimmed baking sheet. Divide half the cheese among the tortillas, sprinkling it on one half. Top that same half with the spinach, remaining cilantro, and remaining cheese.
Place the peppers and remaining onion on a cutting board and brush with the oil, season with 1/2 teaspoon each salt and pepper, and grill, covered, until just tender, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Transfer to the cutting board and thinly slice.
Divide the peppers and the remaining onion among the tortillas, then fold over tortillas to cover the filling (they will look overstuffed). Grill until the tortillas are crisp and the cheese has melted, about 2 minutes per side. Serve with the tomato mixture, corn, sour cream, and lime wedges, if desired.
