Ingredients
Scale
- 4 large flour tortillas
- 2 cups fresh spinach, washed and dried
- 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
- 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella or cheddar cheese
- 1 tbsp olive oil or butter (plus more for cooking)
- 1 garlic clove, minced (optional)
- 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the Ingredients: Wash and dry the spinach. Crumble the feta cheese and, if using, finely mince the garlic.
- Sauté the Spinach: Heat 1 tbsp olive oil or butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add spinach and sauté for 2–3 minutes until wilted. Stir in minced garlic and red pepper flakes (if using) and cook for an additional minute. Remove from skillet and set aside.
- Assemble the Quesadilla: Lay a tortilla flat. Spread shredded mozzarella or cheddar cheese on one half. Add sautéed spinach and crumbled feta. Fold the tortilla in half to create a semicircle.
- Cook the Quesadilla: Heat a skillet over medium heat. Add a small amount of olive oil or butter and place the folded tortilla in the skillet. Cook for 2–3 minutes per side until golden brown and cheese is melted.
- Repeat and Serve: Repeat for remaining tortillas and filling. Slice quesadillas into wedges and serve warm.
Notes
- Storage: Cool completely before storing in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- Reheating: Reheat in a skillet for 2–3 minutes per side or in a 350°F (175°C) oven for 10 minutes. Avoid microwaving to maintain crispiness.
