Description
Quick and easy Mediterranean-inspired quesadillas loaded with fresh spinach, tangy feta cheese, melted mozzarella, tomatoes, and red onion. Perfect for busy weeknight dinners!
Ingredients
For the Quesadillas:
-
- 4 flour tortillas (burrito-size works best)
-
- 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
-
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
-
- 1 tablespoon olive oil (for frying)
Instructions
Start by mixing together your mozzarella cheese, feta cheese, chopped spinach, diced tomato, sliced red onion, and black pepper in a bowl. Give it a good stir so everything’s evenly distributed
Lay one tortilla flat on your work surface. Spread about a quarter of your filling mixture on half of the tortilla, keeping it away from the edges just a bit. Fold the empty half over to create that classic half-moon shape.
Heat your skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil, letting it warm up for about 30 seconds. Gently place your first quesadilla in the pan and cook for 3-4 minutes on the first side. Use your spatula to carefully flip it over, then cook another 3-4 minutes until both sides are beautifully golden and the cheese inside is melted and gooey.
Remove from the heat and let it cool for just a minute before slicing into wedges. I like to cut mine into three triangles, but you do what feels right for your family!
Notes
Use room-temperature cheese for better melting
Press gently with your spatula while cooking to help seal the edges
Add a tiny pinch of dried oregano to the filling for extra Mediterranean flair
If your tortillas are a bit stiff, warm them in the microwave for 10 seconds first
For a crispier result, use a little less oil and cook a bit longer on lower heat
