Mediterranean Quesadillas Spinach Feta (Printable)

Golden quesadillas with creamy spinach, tangy feta, mozzarella, and red onions for a quick, vibrant meal.

# What You'll Need:

→ Vegetables

01 - 6 cups fresh spinach, roughly chopped
02 - 1 small red onion, thinly sliced
03 - 2 cloves garlic, minced
04 - 2 tablespoons fresh basil or parsley, chopped

→ Dairy

05 - 1 cup feta cheese, crumbled
06 - 1 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded

→ Base

07 - 4 large flour tortillas, 8 to 10 inch

→ Pantry

08 - 1 tablespoon olive oil or unsalted butter for cooking
09 - 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
10 - 1/4 teaspoon salt
11 - 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

# How to Make It:

01 - Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant. Add spinach and cook, stirring frequently, until just wilted, approximately 2 to 3 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Transfer to a colander and press out excess moisture.
02 - In a mixing bowl, combine crumbled feta, shredded mozzarella, sliced red onion, dried oregano, and fresh herbs. Add the cooked spinach and mix thoroughly until evenly distributed.
03 - Lay a tortilla flat on a clean work surface. Spread one quarter of the filling evenly over half of the tortilla, leaving a small border. Fold the tortilla over to form a half-moon shape. Repeat with remaining tortillas and filling.
04 - Wipe out the skillet and return to medium heat. Add a small amount of olive oil or butter. Cook each quesadilla for 2 to 3 minutes per side, pressing gently with a spatula, until golden brown and cheese is melted.
05 - Remove quesadillas from heat and let rest for 1 minute. Slice into wedges and garnish with extra fresh herbs if desired. Serve warm.
