Ingredients You’ll Need

4 large flour tortillas
2 cups fresh baby spinach, chopped
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
1/4 cup sun-dried tomatoes, drained and chopped
1/4 cup kalamata olives, pitted and sliced
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1 tablespoon olive oil

Step-by-Step

Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat.
In a bowl, toss together chopped spinach, feta, sun-dried tomatoes, olives, and oregano.
Place a tortilla on a flat surface and sprinkle a layer of mozzarella on one half.
Top the mozzarella with the spinach and feta mixture, then add another light layer of mozzarella.
Fold the tortilla in half to close.
Lightly brush the skillet with olive oil.
Place the quesadilla in the skillet and cook for 2 to 3 minutes per side until the tortilla is golden brown and the cheese is melted.
Repeat for remaining tortillas.
Slice into wedges and serve.

Best Ways to Enjoy It

Serve these while they are piping hot. The crispy golden tortilla is the best part. Pair them with a side of tzatziki. A fresh cucumber salad works great too. This is a light spring lunch favorite. You can even serve them as appetizers.

Keep It Fresh

Store any leftovers in an airtight container. They stay fresh for two days. Reheat them in a dry skillet. This keeps the tortilla perfectly crunchy for you. Avoid the microwave if you can. It makes the bread too soft. You want that buttery crispness back again.

Tips for Best Results

Dry your spinach thoroughly before chopping.
Use high-quality feta for the best saltiness.
Don’t overfill the tortillas or they flip poorly.
Press down with a spatula while cooking.
Use a pizza cutter for clean wedges.
Keep the heat at medium to avoid burning.
Brush the oil on the pan, not the bread.

Ways to Switch It Up

Add grilled chicken for extra protein.
Use whole wheat tortillas for more fiber.
Add red pepper flakes for a spicy kick.
Swap mozzarella for provolone cheese.

FAQs

Can I use frozen spinach?

Yes, but squeeze out all the water first. Soggy filling will ruin the crispy crunch.

Is this recipe gluten-free?
