Ingredients

olive oil
▢
2
medium zucchini

8
slices
center cut bacon
(or turkey bacon)
▢
1
bag fresh spinach

Instructions
Heat olive oil in a large skillet.
1 tablespoon olive oil
Add strips of zucchini and cook until soft, about 6-8 minutes.
2 medium zucchini
Cook the bacon until crispy according to directions on package (microwave or stove top, whichever you prefer).
8 slices center cut bacon
Spray one side of a tortilla with cooking spray.
4 medium whole wheat tortillas
On the unsprayed side, place about ¼ of the cooked zucchini on half of the tortilla.
Add 2 slices of bacon on top of the zucchini (break into smaller segments if needed).
Distribute ¼ cup of the shredded cheese on top of the bacon.
1 cup shredded monterey jack cheese
Top with a small handful of the fresh spinach.
1 bag fresh spinach
Fold the other side of the tortilla over the ingredients and place in a skillet.
Cook over medium heat, about 3-4 minutes on each side or until golden brown.
Repeat with remaining tortillas.
