Description
A quick weeknight shortcut to bright, comforting Mediterranean flavors with crispy flour tortillas, melty mozzarella, tangy feta, spinach, and more.
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 shredded mozzarella, crumbled feta, chopped spinach, diced tomato, sliced red onion, and black pepper. Toss gently to combine.
- Lay one tortilla flat and spoon about one-quarter of the filling on one half. Fold the empty half over to create a semicircle. Repeat with remaining tortillas.
- Heat a skillet over medium heat and add olive oil. Once shimmering, place one filled tortilla in the pan. Cook for 3–4 minutes until the underside is golden and crisp.
- Flip the quesadilla carefully and cook the other side for another 3–4 minutes. Adjust heat if needed.
- Remove from the pan and let rest for 1 minute. Slice into wedges and serve warm.
Notes
Swap whole-wheat or gluten-free tortillas for substitutions. For tang, add a squeeze of lemon; for smoke, try roasted red peppers or smoked paprika.
