Description
These Mediterranean quesadillas are a quick and flavorful fusion of creamy feta, melty mozzarella, fresh spinach, and red onion, all folded into crispy tortillas. Perfect for lunch, a light dinner, or a savory snack.
Ingredients
- 4 large flour tortillas
- 2 cups fresh spinach, chopped
- 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/4 cup red onion, thinly sliced
- 1 tablespoon olive oil (for cooking)
- Optional: salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add olive oil.
- Sauté red onion for 2–3 minutes until slightly softened.
- Add chopped spinach and cook for about 2 minutes until wilted. Season with salt and pepper.
- Remove spinach-onion mixture from pan and wipe clean if needed.
- Lay a tortilla flat and spread half the spinach mixture over one side. Sprinkle feta and mozzarella on top.
- Fold the tortilla in half and place in skillet over medium heat.
- Cook for 2–3 minutes per side until golden brown and cheese is melted.

Notes
- Great with additions like sun-dried tomatoes or olives for extra flavor.
- Use whole wheat or gluten-free tortillas for dietary preferences.
- To reheat, use a skillet for best texture; microwave works in a pinch.
- Frozen spinach can be substituted—just thaw and drain well.
- For extra protein, add grilled chicken or chickpeas.
