Ingredients
Scale
Quesadilla Base
- 4 flour tortillas
Filling
- 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
For Cooking
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Instructions
- Prepare the filling: In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded mozzarella, crumbled feta, chopped spinach, diced tomato, sliced red onion, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly so all ingredients are evenly distributed.
- Assemble the quesadilla: Lay one flour tortilla flat on a clean surface. Spoon one-fourth of the filling mixture onto one half of the tortilla. Fold the tortilla over to cover the filling, creating a half-moon shape.
- Heat the skillet: Place a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil, allowing it to warm up but not smoke.
- Cook the quesadilla: Place the filled tortilla gently into the skillet. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes or until the underside is golden brown and crispy.
- Flip and finish cooking: Carefully flip the quesadilla using a spatula and cook the other side for an additional 3 to 4 minutes until golden and the cheese inside has melted.
- Serve: Remove the quesadilla from the skillet. Let it cool slightly before slicing into wedges. Serve warm for the best taste and texture.
Notes
- Use a non-stick skillet for even cooking and easier flipping.
- Adjust black pepper to your preferred taste for mild or stronger seasoning.
- For extra flavor, consider adding dried oregano or a pinch of red pepper flakes to the filling.
- Ensure your tomatoes are diced finely to prevent excess moisture leaking during cooking.
- Serve with a side of Greek yogurt or tzatziki for authentic Mediterranean touch.
