Ingredients
  

Quesadilla Filling
  • 1 cup fresh spinach, chopped Chopped finely for even heating
  • 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese Provides stretch and melt
  • 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese Adds tanginess
  • 1 small tomato, diced Pat dry if juicy to avoid sogginess
  • 1/4 cup red onion, thinly sliced Use mild red onion or sauté if picky eaters
  • black pepper to taste Black pepper Season at your preference
Quesadilla Assembly
  • 4 pieces flour tortillas Can substitute with gluten-free or corn tortillas
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil For cooking each quesadilla

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a mixing bowl, combine the mozzarella cheese, feta cheese, spinach, tomato, red onion, and black pepper. Mix well.
Cooking
  1. Lay one tortilla flat and place one-fourth of the filling mixture on half of the tortilla. Fold it over to cover the filling.
  2. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add olive oil.
  3. Place the filled tortilla in the skillet and cook for about 3-4 minutes until golden brown.
  4. Flip carefully and cook for another 3-4 minutes until both sides are crispy.
  5. Remove from heat, slice into wedges, and serve warm.

Notes

For a quick meal, serve warm with tzatziki, a lemony yogurt dip, or cucumber-tomato salad. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container and reheated for later use.
