Description
Mediterranean Quesadillas with Spinach, Feta, Mozzarella, and Red Onion are a delicious and flavorful twist on traditional quesadillas, perfect for a quick meal or snack.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 large flour tortillas
- 1 cup fresh spinach, chopped
- 1/2 cup feta cheese, crumbled
- 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/4 cup red onion, thinly sliced
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Sour cream or tzatziki for serving (optional)
Instructions
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced red onion and sauté for about 3-4 minutes until softened.
- Add the chopped spinach to the skillet and cook for another 2 minutes until wilted. Stir in garlic powder, dried oregano, salt, and pepper. Remove from heat.
- Lay one tortilla flat on a clean surface. Spread half of the spinach and onion mixture evenly over the tortilla. Sprinkle half of the feta and mozzarella cheese on top.
- Place the second tortilla on top and press down gently.
- Wipe the skillet clean and return it to medium heat. Carefully transfer the quesadilla to the skillet. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on one side until golden brown and the cheese starts to melt.
- Flip the quesadilla carefully and cook for another 3-4 minutes on the other side until golden brown and the cheese is fully melted.
- Remove from the skillet and let it cool for a minute before slicing into wedges. Serve with sour cream or tzatziki if desired.
Notes
- For a spicier kick, add sliced jalapeños or crushed red pepper flakes to the filling.
- For a vegetarian protein boost, consider adding cooked chickpeas or black beans to the mixture.
