Heat oven on lowest (warm) setting. To a medium bowl, add cream cheese  and beat with an electric hand mixer on high for 1 min until fluffy. Add yogurt and blend on high until smooth, about 1 min. Reduce mixer speed to medium and mix in garlic, lemon juice and pepper flakes. With a spatula, fold in spinach, shrimp, artichokes and mozzarella. Place one tortilla on a large dry skillet on med.-low. Cook on one side til lightly crisp. Spread mixture on half of tortilla, and fold other half over. Turn over, and cook until crisp. Repeat process. Keep quesadillas warm by placing on a baking sheet. Cut with a pizza cutter.
