We’ve always been fans of Sweet Earth, but their line of quesadillas has been blowing us away. Every quesadilla we’ve tried, from the Mile High Quesadilla to the Salsa Prime Quesadilla, has been absolutely fantastic. These Mexican-inspired treats taste delicious, since they’re made with high-quality ingredients. Plus, they’re pretty filling, even if you only eat a single quesadilla.
After trying the aptly named Sweet Earth Mindbender Quesadilla, we think the Mindbender might be the best of the bunch.
Before our review, we’d like to offer a word of warning. Even though we love these quesadillas, preparing them can be a bit frustrating. When we stick to the directions on the box, our quesadillas are always cold in the middle. We’ve experimented with a few cook methods, and have found that microwaving them for about a minute before frying them in a pan yields the best results.
As long as you get through the preparation process, you’ll wind up with a crispy tortilla and a gooey blend of mushrooms, spinach, and cheese. This quesadilla combines mozzarella with pepper jack cheese, a combination that we find to be extremely appealing.
This may look like a fairly simple quesadilla, but there’s a lot going on here. The spinach is anything but plain. It’s heavily seasoned with onion, smoked paprika, and nutritional yeast, which gives it a creamier texture. The quesadilla has a slight hint of spiciness thanks to the poblano peppers that are buried deep within the filling.
Of course, these quesadillas aren’t just tasty; they’re also pretty healthy. The sodium levels aren’t too high for a frozen meal, and the quesadilla is filled with nutrients like folate, calcium, vitamin C, and riboflavin. Two quesadillas add up to 420 calories, which is a little on the high side, but a single quesadilla can definitely serve as a light meal.
We absolutely love the Sweet Earth Mindbender Quesadilla, and we’re excited to enjoy this dish again in the future. If you take the time to find the right preparation method, you’ll want to enjoy these cheesy quesadillas again and again.
