Ingredients
Method
Preparation
- In a mixing bowl, stir together the mozzarella, feta, chopped spinach, diced tomato, sliced red onion, and a few grinds of black pepper until evenly mixed. Taste and adjust pepper as needed.
Assembly
- Lay one tortilla flat. Spoon one-fourth of the filling onto half of the tortilla. Fold the empty half over the filling and press gently to compact.
Cooking
- Warm a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil, swirling to coat.
- Place the folded tortilla in the skillet and cook for about 3 to 4 minutes, until the bottom is golden brown and you hear the cheese starting to give.
- Flip the quesadilla and cook another 3 to 4 minutes until both sides are crispy and the cheeses are fully melted. Lower the heat if the exterior browns too fast.
- Transfer to a cutting board, let rest for a minute to stabilize the filling, then slice into wedges and serve warm.

Notes
These quesadillas are great on their own or served with sides like a crisp salad, tzatziki, or marinara. For storage, keep leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days, reheating in a skillet or oven. Can freeze for up to 2 months. Tips include keeping heat moderate, pressing lightly while cooking, and drying ingredients well to avoid sogginess.
