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

  1. Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add olive oil.
  2. Sauté red onion for 2–3 minutes until slightly softened.
  3. Add chopped spinach and cook for about 2 minutes until wilted. Season with salt and pepper.
  4. Remove spinach-onion mixture from pan and wipe clean if needed.
  5. Lay a tortilla flat and spread half the spinach mixture over one side. Sprinkle feta and mozzarella on top.
  6. Fold the tortilla in half and place in skillet over medium heat.
  7. Cook for 2–3 minutes per side until golden brown and cheese is melted.
  8. Remove from pan, let cool slightly, then slice and serve warm.

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.
