Main Ingredients
- 4 large tortillas
- 2 cups fresh spinach, chopped
- 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
- 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/4 cup red onion, thinly sliced
Instructions
- Prepare the Filling: In a mixing bowl, combine the chopped spinach, crumbled feta, shredded mozzarella, and thinly sliced red onion. Stir gently to mix evenly.
- Assemble Quesadillas: Lay one tortilla flat on a clean surface. Evenly spread about a quarter of the filling mixture across half of the tortilla. Fold the tortilla in half to enclose the filling, pressing gently to seal.
- Cook Quesadillas: Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Place the folded quesadilla onto the skillet and cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until the tortilla is golden brown and crisp, and the cheese inside has melted.
- Serve: Remove from heat, let cool for a minute, then slice into wedges and serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce or a side salad.
Notes
- You can substitute spinach with kale or arugula for a different green flavor.
- Add some chopped olives or sun-dried tomatoes to enhance the Mediterranean taste.
- Cook on medium heat to allow the cheese to melt fully without burning the tortilla.
- Serve with a side of tzatziki or hummus for an extra burst of flavor.
