Description

Delicious and quick quesadillas filled with fresh spinach, tangy feta, melted mozzarella, juicy tomato, and sharp red onion, perfectly pan-fried for a crispy golden finish. A perfect snack or light meal ready in just 15 minutes.

Ingredients

Quesadilla Filling

  • 1 cup fresh spinach (chopped)
  • 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
  • 1 small tomato (diced)
  • 1/4 cup red onion (thinly sliced)
  • Black pepper (to taste)

Other Ingredients

  • 4 flour tortillas
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

Instructions

  1. Prepare the filling: In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded mozzarella, crumbled feta, chopped spinach, diced tomato, thinly sliced red onion, and black pepper. Mix everything thoroughly to ensure an even distribution of ingredients.
  2. Assemble the quesadilla: Lay one flour tortilla flat on a clean surface. Spoon one-fourth of the filling mixture onto one half of the tortilla. Carefully fold the tortilla over to cover the filling, creating a half-moon shape.
  3. Heat the skillet: Place a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil. Allow the oil to heat until shimmering, which helps achieve a crispy exterior when cooking.
  4. Cook the first side: Place the filled tortilla gently into the hot skillet. Cook for about 3 to 4 minutes, or until the underside turns golden brown and crispy.
  5. Flip and cook the other side: Carefully flip the quesadilla using a spatula, being gentle to keep the filling inside. Cook the other side for another 3 to 4 minutes until it is also golden brown and the cheese has melted.
  6. Serve: Remove the quesadilla from the skillet and place it on a cutting board. Slice it into wedges and serve warm for the best taste and texture.

Notes

  • Use medium heat to avoid burning the tortilla while ensuring the cheese melts properly.
  • Feel free to substitute flour tortillas with whole wheat or gluten-free alternatives if desired.
  • You can add other vegetables or spices to customize the filling to your preference.
  • Serve with salsa, guacamole, or sour cream for added flavor.
