Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 4 flour tortillas large burrito-size preferred
  • 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
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • black pepper to taste

Equipment

  • Non-stick skillet
  • mixing bowl
  • spatula
  • cutting board

Method
 

  1. In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded mozzarella cheese, crumbled feta cheese, chopped spinach, diced tomato, thinly sliced red onion, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly to distribute ingredients evenly.
  2. Lay one tortilla flat and place one-fourth of the filling mixture on half of the tortilla, spreading evenly while leaving a half-inch border. Fold the tortilla over to create a half-moon shape.
  3. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add about 1 teaspoon olive oil.
  4. Place the filled tortilla in the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes until golden brown, pressing down occasionally with a spatula.
  5. Flip carefully using a wide spatula and cook for another 3-4 minutes until both sides are crispy and golden with the cheese completely melted.
  6. Remove from heat and let rest for 1 minute. Slice into 3-4 wedges and serve warm. Repeat with remaining tortillas and filling.

Notes

Storage: Store cooked quesadillas in an airtight container with parchment paper between layers for up to 3 days refrigerated. Freeze individually wrapped in plastic wrap for up to 2 months. Reheating: Oven at 375°F for 10-15 minutes for best results, or stovetop over medium heat for 3-4 minutes per side. Microwave option available but results in softer texture. Variations: Add rotisserie chicken, ground lamb, or chickpeas for extra protein. Substitute goat cheese for feta or use whole wheat tortillas. Serving Suggestions: Pair with tzatziki sauce, Greek salad, hummus, or roasted red pepper soup for a complete meal.
