If you are looking for a quick, dinner idea that looks fancy, allow me to introduce you to my Prosciutto Fig Quesadillas…

Prosciutto Fig Quesadilla - Lauren Kelly Nutrition

My family loves prosciutto, which is a thin sliced Italian ham.    It’s so easy to use in salads or sandwiches, so why not quesadillas? Quesadillas are one of my easy go-to dinners on hectic nights (which seem to every night these days!)  I was trying to think of new creative ideas for quesadillas that no one would complain about and that might seem like something new.  Well it worked.  These were a huge success.

I know I have complained said this before but summer is so difficult to get anything done.  My kids all play baseball every night and are here during the day.  All.  Day. Long.  Funny thing is that as I am typing this, two of them literally got into a wrestling match and landed on top of my lap top.  The oldest one stood there and smiled.  Sigh…

I know I have to soak these days in because they won’t be this young forever, but some days I feel like I am losing my mind.  And my sanity.  And any brain cells I may or may not have had before.  But they are so sweet (when they want to be) and for the most part, I really enjoy this time with them.  It’s just hard to get any work done.  And that’s ok.  Recipes can wait until the fall but these baseball games can’t.   I have to keep reminding myself, they won’t be this young forever…

Anyway, back to these awesome quesadillas…

Prosciutto Fig Quesadillas

Servings 4 servings

Ingredients

  • 4 cups arugula
  • 2 green onions chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic diced
  • 1/2 cup goat cheese
  • 6 pieces prosciutto
  • 6 fresh figs sliced into 1/4 inch pieces
  • 6 to rtillas I used 6 inch whole grain

Instructions

  1. Mix the arugula, garlic and onions in a large skillet over medium heat until wilted, about 3 minutes.
  2. Remove from heat and add cheese. Mix well.
  3. Place tortillas on skillet or griddle prepared with nonstick cooking spray over medium heat. Place arugula mixture on half of the tortilla and top with 1 piece of prosciutto and chopped figs.
  4. Cook over medium heat for 1-2 minutes on each side until golden brown, making sure to flip over to cook evenly.
  5. Remove from heat and slice in half. Serve immediately.

These are so flavorful on your own but one of my kids wanted to dip it into balsamic vinaigrette. Good thing I had some in the fridge!

    Aw! You have a beautiful family. I totally know how you feel with loosing your mind! I don’t have boys yet but I have two girls ages 1 1/2 and 2 1/2. Girls don’t play baseball yet or wrestle but they sure know how to throw huge diva tantrums and can be so sneaky we call them ninjas. Hang in there girl! Summer isn’t too much longer lol. You nailed it with creating a new creative quesadilla! I am also a huge quesadilla fan! I love this idea! Thank you for sharing!

    Oh these quesadillas look so yummy. I order things w/ fig all the time out at restaurants, but I have actually never worked w/ it at home! I’m loving the goat cheese!

    Your summers sound a lot like mine (well … except we sub baseball for x-country training, soccer and lacrosse …) 😀 ! Quick and easy dinners are so important, and I just love the awesome flavors in this! You had me at prosciutto and figs, but (my oh my!) goat cheese put it over the top! Pinning for sure!

    UH-MAZE-ING!
    love quesedillas and this is by far my favorite to make! (and very easy to make) love how sweetness of the figs complements the flavors of the prosciutto and goat cheese. And the arugula gave it a nice little crunch. Next time I am going to try this using Kale instead of arugula for a little extra crunch! Thanks for sharing!
