Ingredients
  

For the Tortillas
  • 4 pieces Flour Tortillas Opt for corn for gluten-free
For the Filling
  • 1 cup Fresh Spinach, chopped Fresh is best, well-drained frozen is okay
  • 0.5 cup Shredded Mozzarella Substitute with vegan mozzarella for dairy-free
  • 0.5 cup Crumbled Feta Cheese Goat cheese or vegan feta can be alternatives
  • 1 piece Small Tomato, diced Roma is ideal, but any fresh tomato will do
  • 0.25 cup Red Onion, thinly sliced Can be swapped for caramelized onions
  • 0.25 teaspoon Black Pepper Add red pepper flakes for a spicy kick
For Cooking
  • 1 tablespoon Olive Oil Any high smoke point oil works too

Equipment

  • Non-stick skillet

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a mixing bowl, combine shredded mozzarella, crumbled feta, chopped fresh spinach, and diced small tomato. Mix in thinly sliced red onion and black pepper until evenly blended.
  2. Lay out one flour tortilla flat and spoon one-fourth of the filling mixture onto half of the tortilla. Fold the other half over and press down gently.
  3. Place a non-stick skillet over medium heat and warm for about 2 minutes. Add olive oil, swirling to coat the pan.
  4. Carefully place the first folded quesadilla in the skillet. Cook for 3-4 minutes, pressing down with a spatula. Flip when golden brown and cook for another 3-4 minutes.
  5. Remove quesadilla from the skillet, let cool on a cutting board, and slice into wedges. Serve hot with salsa or Greek yogurt.
