Ingredients
Scale
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
Other
- 4 flour tortillas
- 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. Stir until well mixed.
- Assemble the 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 the filling evenly.
- Heat the skillet: Place a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil, allowing it to warm up for about a minute.
- Cook the quesadilla: Carefully transfer the filled tortilla to the skillet. Cook for 3-4 minutes until the bottom is golden brown and crispy.
- Flip and cook the other side: Using a spatula, flip the quesadilla gently and cook for another 3-4 minutes until both sides are crisp and the cheese inside has melted.
- Serve: Remove the quesadilla from the skillet, slice into wedges, and serve warm for the best taste and texture.
Notes
- Feel free to add other Mediterranean ingredients like olives or sun-dried tomatoes for extra flavor.
- Use a medium heat to ensure the tortillas crisp without burning before the cheese melts.
- For a crispier texture, press down lightly on the quesadilla while cooking.
- Serve with a side of tzatziki or hummus for dipping.
