Ingredients
  

Filling
  • 1 large Tomato Can substitute with cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1/2 cup Red Onion Substitute with green onions for a milder flavor
  • 2 cups Spinach May use kale or Swiss chard, pat dry
  • 1/2 cup Crumbled Feta Cheese Can substitute with goat cheese or ricotta
  • 1 cup Shredded Mozzarella Cheese Can use any good melting cheese
Quesadilla
  • 4 8-inch Flour Tortillas Whole wheat tortillas provide a nuttier flavor

Equipment

  • Skillet

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a medium bowl, combine diced tomato, finely chopped red onion, and fresh spinach. Add in crumbled feta cheese, shredded mozzarella, and dried oregano. Mix thoroughly.
  2. Lay out flour tortillas on a clean surface, and divide the filling mixture evenly among them, placing on one half of each tortilla. Fold the other half over to create a half-moon shape.
  3. Heat a lightly oiled skillet over medium heat. Place the folded quesadillas in the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes until the bottoms are golden brown.
  4. Gently flip the quesadillas over and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until golden and crispy.
  5. Once cooked, let the quesadillas rest on a cutting board for 1 minute before slicing them into wedges.
  6. Serve warm with a side of cucumber and tomato salad or tzatziki sauce.
