Ingredients
  

Quesadilla Filling
  • 4 Large Flour Tortillas
  • 2 cups Fresh Spinach Roughly chopped
  • 1 cup Shredded Mozzarella Cheese Low-moisture
  • 1/2 cup Crumbled Feta Cheese
  • 1/3 cup Sun-Dried Tomatoes in oil Drained and chopped
  • 1/4 cup Red Onion Thinly sliced
  • 1 tbsp Olive Oil For cooking
Optional Tzatziki Sauce
  • 1/2 cup Greek Yogurt
  • 1/4 cup Cucumber Grated and squeezed dry
  • 1 tbsp Lemon Juice
  • 1 tbsp Fresh Dill Chopped

Equipment

  • 1 Large Non-Stick Skillet
  • 1 Mixing Bowl
  • 1 Spatula

Method
 

  1. In a medium bowl, combine the chopped spinach, shredded mozzarella, crumbled feta, sun-dried tomatoes, and sliced red onion. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly distributed.
  2. Lay a tortilla flat. Sprinkle half of the filling mixture evenly over one half of the tortilla. Fold the other half of the tortilla over the filling to create a half-moon shape.
  3. Heat olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Carefully place the assembled quesadilla in the pan. Cook for 3-4 minutes per side, until the tortilla is golden brown and crispy, and the cheese is fully melted. Press down gently with a spatula while cooking.
  4. Remove the quesadilla from the skillet and let it rest on a cutting board for a minute. This helps the cheese set. Cut into wedges and serve immediately. Repeat with the remaining tortilla and filling.
  5. If making the tzatziki, combine the Greek yogurt, grated cucumber, lemon juice, and fresh dill in a small bowl. Stir to combine and serve alongside the warm quesadillas.

Notes

Tip 1: Don't overcrowd the quesadilla. A thin, even layer of filling ensures everything melts together perfectly and prevents it from becoming soggy.
Tip 2: For an extra protein boost, add 1/2 cup of shredded rotisserie chicken to the filling mixture.
Tip 3: Reheat leftovers in a dry skillet or an air fryer to bring back that delicious crispy texture.
