The sun-dried tomato and spinach quesadilla is a dish that was born out of necessity. I was looking for a quick and easy meal that I could make with ingredients that I already had on hand. I had some leftover sun-dried tomatoes and spinach, and I decided to combine them with some low-fat mozzarella cheese and red onion. The result was a delicious and satisfying quesadilla that I've been making ever since.
