Instructions:

1. Prepare Your Ingredients
   o Chop your veggies into small, bite-sized pieces. If using spinach, tear it into small bits.
2. Assemble the Quesadilla
   o Place the tortilla on a plate or flat surface. Sprinkle half of the shredded cheese on one half of the tortilla.
   o Add the chopped veggies and cooked chicken (if using) on top of the cheese. Sprinkle the remaining cheese over the veggies.
3. Cook the Quesadilla
   o Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil or butter.
   o Fold the tortilla in half and place it in the skillet. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, pressing gently with a spatula, until the tortilla is golden and crispy, and the cheese is melted.
4. Cut and Serve
   o Remove the quesadilla from the skillet and let it cool slightly. Cut it into wedges or smaller pieces for easy handling. Serve warm.
