Spinach and Feta Quesadillas
Mediterranean-style spinach and feta quesadillas—easy, cheesy, and ready in minutes! Perfect for lunch or a quick dinner.
Ingredients
- 4 medium tortillas flour, whole wheat, or gluten-free
- 2 cups fresh spinach chopped
- 1 cup feta cheese crumbled
- 2 tablespoons olive oil or butter for cooking
Optional Add-ins
- ¼ cup sun-dried tomatoes chopped
- ¼ cup black olives sliced
- ½ cup cooked grilled chicken diced
Instructions
Step 1: Prep Your Ingredients
- Start by rinsing and chopping the spinach. Crumble the feta cheese into a bowl, and prep any optional ingredients you want to include, like sun-dried tomatoes, olives, or grilled chicken.
Step 2: Assemble the Quesadillas
- Lay a tortilla flat on a clean surface. On one half of the tortilla, spread an even layer of spinach and crumbled feta. Add any of your chosen extras to boost flavor and texture.
- Fold the tortilla in half to enclose the filling. Press down gently to help seal.
Step 3: Cook the Quesadillas
- Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add a small amount of olive oil or butter to the pan.
- Place the folded tortilla into the skillet and cook for 2–3 minutes per side, or until the outside is golden brown and crispy and the cheese is slightly melted inside.
- Repeat with the remaining tortillas.
Step 4: Slice and Serve
- Transfer the cooked quesadillas to a cutting board and use a sharp knife or pizza cutter to slice into wedges.
- Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce—tzatziki, garlic yogurt, or even a simple squeeze of lemon works beautifully.
