From the Test Kitchen

Chefs, it’s hard to improve upon the simple combination of crispy tortillas and melted cheese—but a layer of hearty greens and a topping of fried eggs does the job. Our quesadillas feature the flavors of white cheddar and Mexican-spiced kale (we’re using a warming blend that includes ancho and chipotle chile powders). Thin-sliced radishes give the dish a classic touch of refreshing contrast.

2 Cook the kale:

In a large pan (nonstick, if you have one), heat 2 teaspoons of olive oil on medium until hot. Add the garlic and kale; season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring frequently, 1 to 2 minutes, or until the kale is slightly wilted. Add ¼ cup of water and up to 3/4 of the spice blend, depending on how spicy you’d like the dish to be; season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring frequently, 3 to 5 minutes, or until the kale has wilted and the water has cooked off. Turn off the heat. Stir in the juice of 2 lime wedges; season with salt and pepper to taste.
