Description

These Spinach and Feta Quesadillas are a fast and flavorful Mediterranean-inspired twist on a classic favorite. Packed with tender spinach, creamy feta, and melty mozzarella in a crispy tortilla, this easy meatless recipe is perfect for lunch, dinner, or a savory snack. Ready in just 20 minutes and full of comforting, cheesy goodness.


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.
