Ingredients

Scale

Filling

  • 1 cup fresh spinach, chopped
  • ½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • ½ cup crumbled feta cheese
  • 1 small tomato, diced
  • ¼ cup red onion, thinly sliced
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper

Tortillas and Cooking

  • 4 flour tortillas
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil (for frying)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the filling: In a mixing bowl, combine mozzarella, feta, spinach, diced tomato, red onion, and black pepper. Stir well until all ingredients are evenly mixed to create the filling.
  2. Assemble the quesadilla: Lay one flour tortilla flat on a clean surface. Spread one-fourth of the filling mixture evenly onto half of the tortilla. Fold the other half of the tortilla over the filling to form a half-moon shape.
  3. Heat the skillet: Place a large skillet or griddle over medium heat and add the olive oil. Allow the oil to warm up for about a minute to ensure even cooking.
  4. Cook the quesadilla: Place the filled tortilla onto the heated skillet. Cook for 3-4 minutes on one side, pressing gently with a spatula to help the cheese melt and the tortilla brown evenly. Flip the quesadilla and cook the other side for another 3-4 minutes until golden brown and crispy.
  5. Serve: Remove the cooked quesadilla from the skillet and let it rest for a minute. Slice into wedges and serve warm for the best taste and texture.

Notes

  • You can substitute flour tortillas with whole wheat tortillas for added fiber.
  • For a spicier kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the filling.
  • If you prefer a vegetarian but vegan-friendly version, replace cheeses with plant-based alternatives.
  • Make sure the skillet is properly heated before cooking to avoid soggy tortillas.
  • Leftovers can be reheated in a pan or toaster oven for best texture maintenance.
