Description

Shatteringly crisp tortilla edges with a velvety, melt-in-your-mouth center, filled with fresh spinach, tangy feta, and gooey mozzarella.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 flour tortillas
  • 2 cups fresh spinach, roughly chopped
  • 1 cup mozzarella, shredded
  • 1/2 cup feta, crumbled
  • 1 tomato, diced
  • 1/2 red onion, thinly sliced
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Mix spinach, tomato, onion, and black pepper with mozzarella and feta in a bowl.
  2. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add olive oil.
  3. Place one tortilla in the skillet and spread half of the cheese and vegetable mix on one half.
  4. Fold the tortilla over and press gently with a spatula. Cook until the bottom is golden (about 2-3 minutes).
  5. Flip and cook the second side until golden and mozzarella starts to ooze (another 2-3 minutes).
  6. Remove to a cutting board and let rest for 30-60 seconds before slicing.
  7. Repeat with remaining tortillas. Serve hot, sliced into wedges with lemon if desired.

Notes

Don’t overload the filling to prevent soggy quesadillas. Dry spinach to avoid steam; use medium-high heat for best results.
