what you'll need -

8 ounces cream cheese, fat-free

In a small bowl, mix the cream cheese and garlic powder.

Spread about 2 tablespoons of the cheese mixture on each tortilla.

Sprinkle about 2 tablespoons bell pepper and 2 tablespoons cheese on one half of each tortilla.

Add spinach: 1/4 cup if using fresh leaves OR 2 Tablespoons if using frozen. Fold tortillas in half.

Heat 2 tablespoons of Extra Virgin Olive Oil in a fry pan from your best stainless steel gourmet cookware over medium heat until hot.

Put 2 folded tortillas in your fry pan and heat for 1-2 minutes on each side or until golden brown.

Cut each quesadilla into 4 wedges. Serve warm.
