Perfect for those days when you don’t really want to cook, these greens, jalapeno, and brie quesadillas make for a quick and delicious meal.
This is pretty much Christmas in June.
Call me crazy, but scanning the salad greens section is one of my favorite pastimes.
The day I discovered baby kale? One of the best days of my life.
Second only to the day I discovered Earthbound Farm‘s Power Greens Blend, which has baby kale, baby chards, AND baby spinach.
I just don’t even have words for how much I love it.
I really thought that couldn’t be topped…and then they went and came out with their KALE ITALIA blend. And what perfect timing since I’m leaving for Italy TODAY.
Way to get me in the mood.
This new blend has our old favorite baby kale along with some new friends: mizuna, arugula, and radicchio. I call them the Bitter Baby Greens…because we’re besties like that.
As much as I love a good salad, sometimes I crave my greens with a little bit more…pizzazz.
And spice. And CHEESE.
Quesadillas, you say?! I like where this is going.
Perfect for those summer days when you don’t actually feel like cooking but you still have to eat, these ‘dillas require no more than 15 minutes of standing in front of the stove…and they are DEEEELICIOUS. The greens get some heat from a few jalapenos, a touch of Vidalia onion sweetness, and lots of melty brie glory all wrapped up in a crispy tortilla shell.
I dare you to not get excited about them. Because, IMPOSSIBLE.

- 3 tbsp olive oil, divided
- 1 large Vidalia onion, diced
- 2 jalapenos, seeded and thinly sliced
- salt and black pepper, to taste
- 10 oz Earthbound Farm Kale Italia Blend
- 8 oz brie, cut into 1-inch cubes
- 6-8 8-inch tortillas
- In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the onion and jalapenos to the pan, along with a pinch of salt. Saute for 6-8 minutes or until onions are translucent and soft. Add the greens to the pan a handful at a time and saute until wilted. Season to taste with salt and black pepper.
- Divide the greens among the tortillas, arranging them so they are gathered on one half of the shell. Top with the brie. Fold the other half over to form a sandwich.
- Heat a grill pan over medium-high heat. Add 1 tbsp olive oil to the pan and heat until shimmering. Place 3-4 quesadillas on the pan at a time, cooking for 2 minutes on each side or until crispy and browned. Serve warm.

Loving all these greens and two thumbs up for using brie – I need to try this asap!
I don’t know if you are a blue cheese lover, but greens and gorgonzola make fantastic quesadillas too!
These are probably a little hot for me – but otherwise they’re perfect. I could eat these all summer!
Have an awesome honeymoon!
Brie in a quesadilla… YES! And the greens make it feel healthy still 🙂 Lovely!
This looks so good… I just got a bunch of jalapenos out of my garden, now I know what to do with them!
I totally need to find that blend! I am all about the kale ALL the time.
And ahhhh have sooo much fun on your honeymoon!!!
Brie in quesadillas?! I need to be there. Love the greens/jalapeno, the warm greens and zesty peppers always make a quesadilla for me 🙂 Pinned!

This looks so good! I remain a huge supporter of kale and the baby variety is even better. Have a wonderful trip!
Bon Voyage, Joanne! While you are flying towards Paradise, I will be dining on these quesadillas!
YUM! I love baby kale too. These quesadillas look amazing – love that gooey brie dripping out.

Joanne, holy sh*t. These quesadillas look amazing! Gimme all the baby kale and spinach!!! love and cannot wait until I can eat a freaking flour tortilla again. love these!
UM brie in a quesadilla?? So awesome. I never thought to do that but I know I’ll love it!
These quesadillas look so good! Loving all that oozy brie!
Very interesting flavor and ingredient choice here, Joanne! I’ve never thought of using these in a quesadilla before (well, aside from jalapenos of course). I bet they are super tasty!
Italiaaaaaaa! I cannot WAIT to stalk your pictures and drool over all the insane food you’re going to eat. Gosh. So excited!!!!!
these look fabulous–very properly crispy! i can just see you giddily perusing the greens…i’ll bet you get some odd looks, but those people just don’t know what’s good. 🙂
Delicious. I recently made homemade tortillas that turned out pretty well. I must do so again and make this. Brie is such a treat and everything in here is calling my name.
I love baby kale & those mixed power greens, especially in our smoothies. I’m pretty sure these quesadillas are going to be much more exciting!

this is totally off topic but I saw these and immediately thought of you.
Love the greens in this one- so much healthier ! And the melted Brie is off the charts! 🙂
Send me all the quesadillas, please!
My tummy just grumbled – looking at the pics. Will try!
Yes! Now I know what I’m going to do with all the kale in my garden. Seriously, brie quesadillas?? I can’t believe I’ve never done this before.
Have fun in Italy!!
I can’t even stand how badly I want these.
Spicy and cheesy! Just the way I like myhttp://veryculinary.com/ quesadillas. Have a blast in Italy!!!
Oops. I don’t know how that happened—lol
You are always so creative with your use of brie. Or maybe it’s just that brie never lasts long enough in my house to make anything with it.
I love brie on anything and that on quesidillas are perfect. Enjoy your trip.
The flavors in these are AMAZING!!!
They look so good! I love that they are stuffed with all gorgeous greens.
Hope you have a super time in Italy 🙂
Oh yes must have some! 🙂
Hi yes I love all those baby green and with brie and tortillias is ….dah… perfect. Have a great time
AMAZING!!!!
I’m with you about loving greens so I know I would enjoy your quesadillas.
I love me a good quesadilla anytime. Also, you are going to ITALY??? That has been my dream for so long. I am sooo jealous!
I’ve been looking for a good quesadilla recipe, thanks!
I love that Power Greens blend too! These looks so delicious, healthy and wonderfully cheesy 🙂
Perfect!! A friend came over for lunch and a swim, bringing me a big pile of Okinawan spinach. I have the brie and the tortillas. We’re totally ready for this.
Love all the greens in this quesadilla! They look amazing!
Brilliant idea, Joanne! These sort of remind me of a Greek quesadilla, but with brie instead of feta (feta would work well too, though!)
Hope you’re having a wonderful time in Italy (impossible not to, let’s face it!)
That Earthbound mix with baby kale baby chard and spinach needs to be in my life. It has to happen. My grocery store carries Earth kind but I haven’t noticed that mix.i must go check it out tonight. And yeah, I’m going to need to chow down on these quesadillas before I do anything!!!
The baby kale looks really good. I love your quesadillas – the jalapenos would give a great kick of heat xx
I love quesadillas, I love the ideas of adding the greens to this. Yummy recipe.
Omg omg omg you are speaking my language right here. I love Brie on all things mmmmm 🙂
I totally adore baby kale too! And your quick greens and brie quesadillas is definitely something I can keep in mind during the non-cooking days in hot hot summer.
oooh these look so good – brie and greens and tortillas – sounds like a perfect christmas in summer treat – can’t wait for summer
I’m starting to really like Brie, sometimes it has a stinky smell to it, but if it’s mild, I’m sold. THis looks delicious, I love spinach quesedillas, jalapeno in anything is awesome.
