Description

Crispy, cheesy, and full of Mediterranean flavor, these Spinach and Feta Quesadillas are quick, easy, and perfect for a healthy meal or snack.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 flour tortillas (or gluten-free tortillas)
  • 2 cups fresh spinach, roughly chopped
  • 1 cup crumbled feta cheese
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil or butter
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Optional: fresh parsley or dill for extra flavor

Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.
  2. Add spinach and cook for 1–2 minutes until just wilted. Set aside.
  3. Place one tortilla on a flat surface. Spread mozzarella on half the tortilla.
  4. Add sautéed spinach and crumbled feta cheese over the mozzarella.
  5. Sprinkle with garlic powder, onion powder, and season with salt and pepper.
  6. Fold the tortilla over to cover the filling.
  7. Place it back in the skillet and cook for 2–3 minutes per side, pressing gently until golden brown and crispy.
  8. Remove from skillet, slice into wedges, and serve warm.

Notes

  • Use dairy-free feta and mozzarella to make a vegan version.
  • Thaw and drain frozen spinach thoroughly if using instead of fresh.
  • Serve with tzatziki, hummus, or salsa for extra flavor.
  • Cook quesadillas over medium heat for best crispiness without burning.
