Ingredients
  

Filling
  • 2 cups fresh spinach Can substitute with kale
  • 1 cup feta cheese Can be swapped with goat cheese
  • 1 cup mozzarella cheese Use shredded provolone for a different taste
  • 1 medium red onion Substitute with green onions if preferred
Base
  • 4 large tortillas Gluten-free options available
Cooking
  • 2 tablespoons oil Use olive oil for additional flavor

Equipment

  • non-stick skillet

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Begin by washing a generous amount of fresh spinach and chopping it roughly. Thinly slice half a red onion and grate equal parts of mozzarella and feta cheese until you have a good amount ready.
  2. Take a tortilla and lay it flat on a clean surface. Layer a handful of spinach first, followed by crumbled feta, grated mozzarella, and sliced red onion. Top with another tortilla and gently press down to secure the filling.
  3. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat, letting it warm up for 2-3 minutes. Add a drizzle of olive oil, then carefully place one prepared quesadilla in the skillet. Cook for about 3-5 minutes or until the bottom is golden brown and crispy. Flip using a spatula, adding a touch more oil if needed, then cook the other side for another 3-5 minutes until it is equally golden and the cheese is melty.
  4. Once cooked to perfection, remove the quesadilla from the skillet and let it rest for a minute. Using a sharp knife or pizza cutter, slice it into wedges for serving.

Notes

Serve these quesadillas warm, perhaps alongside a tzatziki sauce or a light salad to complement their savory flavors. For make-ahead options, refrigerate assembled quesadillas and reheat on a skillet to retain crispiness.
