Though not traditional, the combination of blue cheese and spicy beef adds fabulous flavor to these quesadillas. They're sure to please your Super Bowl crowd.

Ingredients:
1/3 cup(s) cooked 80% lean ground beef
3 Tbsp taco sauce
4 item(s) (large) burrito-size wheat flour tortilla(s)
4 oz blue cheese, crumbled
10 oz chopped frozen spinach, thawed and squeezed dry
1/2 tsp red pepper flakes

Instructions: In a small bowl, stir together beef and taco sauce. Lay two tortillas on a flat surface and divide beef mixture between them. Sprinkle each tortilla with half of cheese, spinach and red pepper flakes; top each with a remaining tortilla. Set a large, heavy nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Place one quesadilla in skillet and cook until brown spots form on bottom of tortilla, about 3 to 4 minutes; flip and cook until brown spots form again, about 3 to 4 minutes. Remove quesadilla to a large cutting board and cover to keep warm; repeat with remaining quesadilla. Cut each quesadilla into 8 wedges and serve. Yields 2 wedges per serving.
