Description
These Mediterranean Spinach and Feta Quesadillas are a quick and satisfying vegetarian meal filled with tender spinach, tangy feta, melty mozzarella, and fresh vegetables, all tucked into crispy golden tortillas.
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
- In a mixing bowl, combine the mozzarella, feta, chopped spinach, diced tomato, red onion, and black pepper. Mix until evenly distributed.
- Lay one tortilla flat on a clean surface and spoon one-quarter of the filling onto one half. Fold the other half over to enclose the filling. Repeat with the remaining tortillas.
- Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil, swirling to coat the surface evenly.
- Place one filled tortilla into the skillet and cook for 3 to 4 minutes until the underside is golden brown and crisp. Flip carefully and cook for another 3 to 4 minutes until both sides are golden and the cheese is fully melted. Repeat with remaining quesadillas.
- Remove from heat, let cool slightly, slice into wedges, and serve warm.
Notes
Add sliced olives or sun-dried tomatoes for deeper Mediterranean flavor.
Mix in cooked chickpeas for extra protein.
Sprinkle dried oregano, fresh basil, or red pepper flakes for added flavor.
Brush the outside of tortillas lightly with olive oil for extra crispiness.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheat in a skillet for best texture.
