Spinach & Mushroom Quesadillas

I love quesadillas but wasnt in the mood for regular cheese or chicken ones. So we decided to switch it up after seeing Pioneer Woman's spinach & mushroom quesadillas. So this is our adapted version of hers and its REALLY good and there werent any leftovers, my kids even loved it. We served it with some salsa on the side for dipping which gave it a nice little kick.
