Description

A delightful Mediterranean quesadilla filled with fresh spinach, tangy feta, and creamy mozzarella, perfect for casual dinners or quick lunches.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 flour or corn tortillas
  • 2 cups spinach, roughly chopped
  • 1 cup feta cheese, crumbled
  • 1 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil or butter
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Optional: Fresh herbs like basil or oregano

Instructions

  1. Heat a skillet over medium heat and lightly grease with olive oil or butter.
  2. Layer spinach, feta, and mozzarella on one half of each tortilla.
  3. Fold the tortilla in half, pressing gently to secure the filling.
  4. Cook each quesadilla for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown.
  5. Carefully flip the quesadilla using a spatula.
