Ingredients
  

4 large flour tortillas

1 cup fresh spinach, finely chopped

1 cup creamy ricotta cheese

1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1/2 teaspoon onion powder

1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional for heat)

Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

Optional: Sour cream or fresh salsa for serving

Instructions
 

Preheat the Pan: Begin by heating a large, non-stick skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add 1 tablespoon of olive oil, swirling it around to evenly coat the bottom of the skillet.

    Prepare the Filling: In a large mixing bowl, combine the finely chopped spinach, ricotta cheese, shredded mozzarella, grated Parmesan, garlic powder, onion powder, red pepper flakes (if using), and a generous pinch of salt and freshly ground black pepper. Stir the ingredients together until thoroughly mixed and creamy.

      Assemble the Tortillas: Lay one large tortilla flat on a clean countertop. Using a spoon, scoop about a quarter of the spinach and cheese mixture onto one half of the tortilla. Gently fold the other half over the filling, creating a semi-circle. Press down lightly to seal. Repeat this process for the remaining tortillas until all the filling is used.

        Cook the Tortilla Melts: Carefully transfer the stuffed tortilla to the preheated skillet. Brush the top with a little additional olive oil to enhance browning. Cook for approximately 3-4 minutes, or until the bottom is beautifully golden brown. Flip the tortilla over and cook the other side for another 3-4 minutes, or until it is also golden and the cheese inside is gooey and melted.

          Serve: Once cooked, remove the tortilla melts from the skillet and let them rest for a moment. Slice each into wedges for easy serving. Present the cheesy melts warm, accompanied by dollops of sour cream or a side of vibrant salsa for dipping.
