Quesadilla 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
- Black pepper, to taste
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Instructions
- Prepare the filling: In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded mozzarella, crumbled feta, chopped spinach, diced tomato, thinly sliced red onion, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly to evenly distribute all the ingredients.
- Assemble quesadilla: Lay one flour tortilla flat on a clean surface. Spoon one-fourth of the filling mixture onto half of the tortilla. Carefully fold the other half over the filling to enclose it.
- Heat the skillet: Place a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add the tablespoon of olive oil, allowing it to warm up but not smoke.
- Cook the quesadilla, side one: Place the filled tortilla in the skillet and cook for about 3-4 minutes until the bottom side is golden brown and crispy.
- Flip and cook side two: Carefully flip the quesadilla using a spatula and cook for another 3-4 minutes to crisp the other side and melt the cheese inside.
- Serve: Remove the quesadilla from the heat, slice it into wedges, and serve warm for best flavor and texture.
Notes
- You can substitute flour tortillas with whole wheat or gluten-free tortillas if preferred.
- Adding a pinch of dried oregano or a squeeze of fresh lemon can enhance the Mediterranean flavors.
- If you prefer a less crispy texture, cook for less time on each side.
- Use fresh mozzarella for a creamier texture if desired, but it may take slightly longer to melt.
- These quesadillas are best enjoyed immediately, but can be reheated briefly in a skillet.
