Description
Delightful Mediterranean Quesadillas filled with spinach and feta, perfect for a healthy meal.
Ingredients
Scale
- 3 cups fresh spinach, roughly chopped
- 1 small red onion, thinly sliced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 3/4 cup feta cheese, crumbled
- 3/4 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 4 whole wheat tortillas (8-inch)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
- 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
- Cooking spray or additional olive oil for pan
Instructions
- Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
- Add chopped spinach to the skillet and cook for 2–3 minutes until wilted. Season with salt, pepper, oregano, and red pepper flakes. Remove from heat.
- Lay tortillas on a flat surface. On one half of each tortilla, evenly spread the sautéed spinach mixture. Top with crumbled feta, shredded mozzarella, and sliced red onions.
- Fold each tortilla in half to create a half-moon shape, pressing gently to seal the filling inside.
- Heat a clean non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly coat with cooking spray or remaining olive oil. Place quesadillas in the skillet and cook for 2–3 minutes per side until golden brown and cheese has melted.
- Remove from skillet and let rest for 1 minute. Slice into wedges with a sharp knife or pizza cutter. Serve warm, optionally with tzatziki or a fresh side salad.
Notes
- For added flavor, serve with tzatziki sauce or salad.
- Feel free to customize the filling with other vegetables like bell peppers or mushrooms.
