INGREDIENTS

• 1 tsp. of extra virgin olive oil
• 2 oz. leftover flank steak (or whatever you’ve got on hand)
• A big handful of spinach
• 1- 6inch, whole grain tortilla
• 1 slice part-skim provolone cheese

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Heat oil in a 12 inch skillet. Add steak and heat until just heated through. Toss in the spinach and cook until wilted. Remove steak and spinach from the pan. Place one tortilla in the pan and heat through. Flip the tortilla and place half a slice of cheese on one half of the tortilla.
2. Layer the steak and the spinach over the cheese and then place another half slice of cheese on top. Fold the tortilla onto itself to create a half moon. Place a tea kettle or another heavy pot on top of the tortilla to press it down for about 30 seconds. Flip the quesadilla and do the same thing on the other side.
3. Remove quesadilla from the pan and allow to cool bait before slicing in half. Enjoy with some plain Greek yogurt and spicy garlic sauce.

• 1 Tbsp pure maple syrup
• 3 – 5 springs of fresh thyme

• Meanwhile, make the sauce. In a medium saucepan, bring the orange juice, Worcestershire & maple syrup to a boil. Then reduce to an active simmer. Drop in the fresh herbs, stems and all and the dried chilli flakes at this time to.

• Simmer the sauce until it reduces significantly in volume, becomes darker and thicker in consistency. Remove from heat and let come to room temperature.
• When the chicken is about 80 – 90% cooked (about 30 to 40 minutes), start basting with the sauce. Do not put it on too early or it will burn. Continue to baste and turn chicken actively until chicken is done and you have well coated, sticky drums.
