Ingredients
  

For the quesadillas
  • 4 pieces flour tortillas Use whole wheat or gluten free if needed.
  • 1 cup fresh spinach, chopped (packed) Can substitute with baby arugula for a peppery kick.
  • 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese Increase to 3/4 cup for a stronger melt.
  • 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese Reduce to 1/4 cup if increasing mozzarella.
  • 1 small tomato, diced Seed if very wet to avoid sogginess.
  • 1/4 cup red onion, thinly sliced
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Black pepper to taste

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a mixing bowl, combine the mozzarella, feta, chopped spinach, diced tomato, thinly sliced red onion, and a few turns of black pepper. Toss until the mixture is evenly combined.
  2. Lay one flour tortilla flat on a clean surface. Spoon about one fourth of the filling onto one half of the tortilla and spread it evenly, leaving a small border at the edge.
  3. Fold the empty half of the tortilla over the filling to form a half-moon and press the edge lightly to seal. Repeat for the remaining tortillas.
Cooking
  1. Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil, swirling to coat the surface.
  2. Place one filled tortilla in the skillet and cook for 3 to 4 minutes, until the underside is golden brown and crisp.
  3. Flip the tortilla gently with a spatula and cook the other side for another 3 to 4 minutes until both sides are evenly browned and the cheese is melted.
  4. Remove from the skillet, transfer to a cutting board, slice into wedges, and serve warm.
