Make

Defrost spinach in the microwave and drain off excess water (squeeze or press the spinach to release as much moisture as possible).
Combine spinach with sun-dried tomatoes, olives, garlic and cheese.
Heat a large nonstick pan over medium heat. Place a tortilla in the pan, top it with a heaping spoonful of the spinach mixture and then another tortilla.
When the tortilla on the bottom is golden brown and crisp, flip the quesadilla and cook on the other side until all of the cheese is melted. Continue with the remaining tortillas and filling.
Slice quesadillas into wedges and serve with carrot sticks. Dip both the quesadillas and carrots in yogurt dipping sauce. Enjoy!
