Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 2 large flour tortillas
  • 1 cup mozzarella cheese shredded
  • 0.5 cup feta cheese crumbled
  • 1 cup fresh spinach roughly chopped
  • 0.5 cup tomatoes diced
  • 0.25 cup red onion finely diced
  • 1 tbsp olive oil or butter, for the pan

Equipment

  • Large Skillet
  • Spatula
  • Cutting Board
  • Chef's knife or pizza cutter

Method
 

  1. Wash, dry, and prep all vegetables: chop the spinach, dice the tomatoes, and dice the red onions.
  2. Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add half the olive oil or butter to coat the bottom.
  3. Place one tortilla flat in the pan. Immediately sprinkle half of the shredded mozzarella evenly over the tortilla.
  4. Distribute the chopped spinach, diced tomatoes, diced red onion, and crumbled feta over the melting mozzarella.
  5. Top with the remaining mozzarella cheese. Fold the tortilla in half to create a semi-circle, or place a second tortilla on top if making a full round.
  6. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes until the bottom is golden brown and crispy.
  7. Carefully flip the quesadilla. Cook for another 2 to 3 minutes until the second side is crispy and all cheese is fully melted.
  8. Remove from heat, let rest for 1-2 minutes, then slice into wedges and serve warm.

Notes

Serve with tzatziki or hummus instead of standard sour cream and salsa for a true Mediterranean experience.
