Just like every other day, my morning began in confusion. As a Libra♎️ talking decisions is never easy. How can you choose between two favorable options!

God! How I wish I was a Capricorn or a Taurus who would exactly know what they want and go after that. So, I was really confused between the two recipes.

One was baked beans on toast and the second was this White Bean Quesadillas. I am so glad that I decided to make the second one. It goes without saying that very soon I am gonna be making the first one as well.

But, thank God! I decided to make the Quesadillas today! They were so good. Simply amazing. I am so much in love with Mexican Food. Starting from that creamy filling to the crunchy tortillas on the outside this is recipe is surely a winner. Just like these:

Egg White breakfast Quesadillas - Flourless Quesadillas

Chili Cheese Quesadillas

Buffalo Chickpea Quesadillas with Mexican Cheese Sauce

Generally, people make White Bean Quesadillas with Sour Cream or Non-Fat Greek Yogurt on the inside. But, just to avoid that extra sour taste I decided to add ranch dressing. Ranch Dressing brings in a creaminess to our Quesadillas and makes it so delicious.

🍲Ingredients You'll Need to Make White Bean Quesadillas:

• Cannellini Beans: Cannellini Beans is the best beans that can be used to make White Bean Quesadillas. It gives a beautiful nutty texture to our Quesadillas.
• Fresh Spinach - You can definitely use frozen spinach while making this. Make sure you thaw it out before using it. If you are new at this you can learn how to thaw Frozen Spinach here.
• Spices: Garlic Powder, Chili Powder, Ground Cumin, Salt. Chili Powder and Ground Cumin give that smokiness to the Quesadillas. While Garlic Powder gives that garlic-ky kick to the recipe.
• Shredded Sharp Cheddar Cheese: Cheddar Cheese brings a sharp and cheesy taste to these Quesadillas.
• Ranch Dressing: I love Hidden Valley Ranch Dressing. It is so creamy and so comforting. Just the sort of thing that you would need. However you can make your own as well.
• Tortillas: I used Flour Tortillas for this recipe.

🥘How To Make White Bean and Spinach Quesadillas?

• Season White Bean: I used Canned Cannelini Beans. Drain the water and keep it in a bowl. Into that add Salt, Garlic Powder, Chili Powder, and Ground Cumin. Stir well to Combine.
• Add Chopped Spinach: Into this add some chopped Spinach. I love baby spinach for this recipe for that beautiful taste. However, you can use whatever is available. Just keep in mind that if you are using frozen spinach then thaw it out before use.
• Add Cheddar Cheese: I just love Sharp Cheddar Cheese. So, just shred your Cheddar and add it to the mix. You can replace this with Monterey Jack or Pepper Jack Cheese.
• Add Ranch Dressing: Finally, add in some Ranch Dressing and mix it all nicely, Ranch Dressing will bring a beautiful creaminess to our Quesadillas.
• Divide the Mixture in Tortillas: Use warm tortillas and place the mixture in it. Fold it in half and then use a knife of a pizza cutter to cut it in half.
• Serve: Serve with some fresh cilantro along with Fresh Guacamole or Salsa. You can also make Grilled Corn Mango Salsa or Pineapple Salsa (Summer Favourite)!
