Preparation
- In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded mozzarella, crumbled feta, chopped spinach, diced tomato, thinly sliced red onion, and a sprinkle of black pepper. Mix well to combine all ingredients into a flavorful filling.
- Lay one flour tortilla flat on your workspace. Spoon one-fourth of the filling mixture onto half of the tortilla. Carefully fold the other half over to cover the delicious filling.
Cooking
- Heat the olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
- Gently place the quesadilla in the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side until crispy and golden brown.
- Once cooked, remove the quesadilla from heat. Let it cool for a minute, then slice into wedges for easy serving. Enjoy warm.
Notes
For added flavor, consider mixing in some herbs like oregano or basil into the filling. Experiment with different veggies such as bell peppers or mushrooms to switch up the flavor profile. Cooking in batches ensures you can serve the entire family at once—keep finished quesadillas warm in a low oven.
