Ingredients
- 2 whole-wheat or flour tortillas
- 2 cups fresh baby spinach
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1/3 cup crumbled feta cheese
- 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella or part-skim mozzarella
- 1/4 teaspoon dried oregano (optional)
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Sauté garlic until fragrant.
- Add spinach and cook until just wilted. Remove from heat.
- Stir in feta, mozzarella, oregano (if using), salt, and pepper.
- Spread the mixture over half of each tortilla and fold over.
- Return to the skillet and cook each quesadilla for 2–3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crisp.
- Let cool slightly, slice into wedges, and serve with optional dipping sauce like tzatziki or Greek yogurt.
Notes
- Add sun-dried tomatoes, olives, or red pepper flakes for extra flavor.
- Use goat cheese instead of feta for a creamier texture.
- Add cooked chicken or chickpeas for more protein.
- Frozen spinach can be used—just thaw and drain it well.
- For vegan version, use plant-based cheeses and olive oil.
