Scale
Main Ingredients
- 4 flour tortillas
- 1 cup fresh spinach (chopped)
- 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
- 1 small tomato (diced)
- 1/4 cup red onion (thinly sliced)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Black pepper (to taste)
Instructions
- Prepare filling: In a mixing bowl, combine the mozzarella cheese, feta cheese, chopped spinach, diced tomato, thinly sliced red onion, and black pepper. Mix well to evenly distribute ingredients.
- Assemble quesadillas: Lay one flour tortilla flat and place one-fourth of the filling mixture on half of the tortilla. Fold the tortilla over the filling to create a half-moon shape.
- Heat skillet: Place a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add the tablespoon of olive oil. Let the oil heat until shimmering.
- Cook first side: Place the filled tortilla in the hot skillet. Cook for 4 minutes or until the bottom is golden brown and crispy.
- Flip and cook second side: Carefully flip the quesadilla and cook the other side for an additional 4 minutes until golden brown and the cheese inside is melted.
- Serve: Remove the quesadilla from the skillet, slice into wedges, and serve warm for best flavor and texture.
Notes
- Feel free to substitute whole wheat tortillas for a healthier option.
- For extra flavor, add a pinch of dried oregano or a squeeze of lemon juice to the filling.
- Use a bit of non-stick spray instead of olive oil to reduce fat content.
- If you like it spicy, add some red pepper flakes to the filling mixture.
- Serve with a side of Greek yogurt or tzatziki for added creaminess.
