Description
These Mediterranean Quesadillas with Spinach, Feta, and Mozzarella are a quick and satisfying meal that blends fresh flavors with cheesy goodness.
Ingredients
Quesadilla Filling
- 4 medium Flour tortillas (Use medium or large, depending on pan size.)
- 2 cups Fresh spinach (Or thawed frozen spinach, squeezed dry.)
- 1 cup Feta cheese (Crumbled.)
- 1 cup Mozzarella cheese (Shredded for the best melt.)
- 1 medium Red onion (Thinly sliced.)
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil or butter (For crisping the tortilla.)
Optional Seasonings and Add-Ins
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano (Optional.)
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper (Optional.)
- 1 pinch Crushed red pepper (Optional.)
- 1/2 cup Olives or sun dried tomatoes (Optional for extra flavor.)
- 1 teaspoon Lemon zest (Optional for extra zip.)
Instructions
Preparation
- Slice the red onion thinly. If using fresh spinach, give it a rough chop. If using frozen spinach, thaw and squeeze it dry.
Cooking
- Heat a skillet over medium heat and add a little olive oil or butter.
- Lay one tortilla in the pan. Sprinkle mozzarella first, then add spinach, red onion, and feta. Add a pinch of oregano and black pepper if desired. Top with a little more mozzarella.
- Fold the tortilla in half and cook for 2 to 4 minutes until the bottom is golden.
- Flip carefully and cook for another 2 to 3 minutes until crisp and the cheese is melted.
- Let it sit for about a minute before slicing.
Notes
Do not overfill the quesadilla, and keep the heat at medium for a crispy tortilla. Use dry spinach for best results.
