Ingredients
Scale
- 4 large flour tortillas
- 2 cups fresh spinach, chopped
- 1 cup crumbled feta cheese
- ½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese (optional, for extra meltiness)
- 1 tbsp olive oil or butter
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- ½ tsp dried oregano
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Sour cream or Greek yogurt for serving (optional)
Instructions
- In a bowl, combine the chopped spinach, crumbled feta cheese, mozzarella (if using), garlic powder, oregano, salt, and pepper. Mix well to ensure the flavors are evenly distributed.
- Lay a tortilla flat on a clean surface. Spread half of the spinach and feta mixture evenly over one half of the tortilla. Fold the other half over to create a half-moon shape. Repeat with the remaining tortillas and filling.
- Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add a drizzle of olive oil or butter. Place the assembled quesadillas in the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy. Press gently with a spatula to help the cheese melt.
- Remove the quesadillas from the skillet and let them cool for a minute. Slice into wedges and serve with sour cream, Greek yogurt, or your favorite dipping sauce. Enjoy immediately while warm and crispy!
Notes
- Use fresh spinach for the best texture. If using frozen, make sure to drain excess water.
- Add extra veggies like diced bell peppers, onions, or mushrooms for enhanced flavor and nutrition.
- Preheat the skillet to ensure a crispy exterior without overcooking the filling.
- Customize the cheese by adding goat cheese or ricotta for a creamier texture.
