Quesadilla Ingredients
- 4 flour or corn tortillas
- 2 cups spinach, roughly chopped
- 1 cup feta cheese, crumbled
- 1 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 1 tablespoon olive oil or butter
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Optional: Fresh herbs like basil or oregano for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat the skillet: Heat a skillet over medium heat and lightly grease with olive oil or butter to prevent sticking and add flavor.
- Assemble the quesadilla: On one half of each tortilla, evenly layer the chopped spinach, crumbled feta, and shredded mozzarella cheese.
- Fold the tortilla: Fold the tortilla in half carefully, pressing gently to secure the filling inside.
- Cook the first side: Place the folded quesadilla in the hot skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes until the bottom turns golden brown.
- Flip the quesadilla: Carefully flip the quesadilla using a spatula to cook the other side.
- Cook the second side: Cook for another 2-3 minutes, adjusting the heat as needed to melt the cheese fully without burning the tortilla.
- Serve: Remove the quesadilla from the skillet, cut into wedges, and optionally garnish with fresh herbs or serve alongside a salad.
Notes
- For extra flavor, try adding sautéed bell peppers or artichokes inside the quesadilla.
- Leftover quesadillas can be stored in the refrigerator for up to three days.
- Use either flour or corn tortillas based on preference or dietary needs.
