Ingredients
Scale
Tortillas
- 4 flour tortillas
Filling
- 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
- Black pepper, to taste
Cooking
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Instructions
- Prepare the Filling: In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded mozzarella, crumbled feta, chopped spinach, diced tomato, thinly sliced red onion, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly to blend all the ingredients evenly.
- Assemble Quesadilla: Lay one flour tortilla flat on a clean surface. Spoon one-fourth of the filling mixture onto half of the tortilla. Fold the other half over to cover and seal the filling.
- Heat the Skillet: Place a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add the tablespoon of olive oil. Allow the oil to warm up but not smoke.
- Cook the Quesadilla: Carefully place the filled tortilla into the hot skillet. Cook for about 3-4 minutes or until the underside is golden brown and crispy.
- Flip and Finish Cooking: Using a spatula, flip the quesadilla carefully and cook the other side for another 3-4 minutes until it is also golden brown and the cheese is melted.
- Serve: Remove the quesadilla from the heat, let it cool slightly, then slice into wedges and serve warm.
Notes
- Use low-heat to avoid burning the tortillas while ensuring the cheese melts perfectly.
- Feel free to add other Mediterranean herbs such as oregano or basil for extra flavor.
- For a gluten-free version, substitute the flour tortillas with corn or gluten-free tortillas.
- Serve with a side of tzatziki or a simple Greek salad for a complete meal.
