Prep time: 5 mins
Cook time: 20 mins
Total time: 25 mins
Servings: 4
- 5 tbsps honey mustard, divided
- 8 6-in. flour tortillas
- 6 ounces sharp Cheddar cheese, shredded (about 1½ cups)
- 2 Honeycrisp apples, thinly sliced (2½ cups)
- 5 tbsps olive oil, divided
- 1 tbsps plus 1 tsp. fresh lemon juice (from 1 lemon)
- 1/4 tsp kosher salt
- 1 5-oz. pkg. fresh baby spinach
- 2 avocados, sliced (about 2 cups)
- 1/4 cup roasted, salted pumpkin seeds (pepitas)
Directions
Spread 4 tablespoons mustard evenly over tortillas. Top half of each tortilla with 3 tablespoons cheese and a heaping 1/4 cup sliced apples. Fold tortillas in half.
Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium. Add 4 quesadillas; cook, flipping once, until golden brown in spots and crisp, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate and cover loosely with aluminum foil to keep warm. Repeat with 1 tablespoon oil and remaining quesadillas.
Whisk lemon juice, salt, and remaining 1 tablespoon mustard in a large bowl. Gradually whisk in remaining 3 tablespoons oil until dressing is well-combined. Add spinach, avocados, and pumpkin seeds to bowl with dressing; toss to coat salad. Serve with quesadillas.
