Ingredients
Filling
- 1 diced tomato (grape, cherry, or plum for sweetness)
- ⅓ cup diced red onion
- 1 cup chopped spinach
- ½ cup feta cheese
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
Other
- 3 burrito style flour tortillas
- 1 tablespoon oil (for cooking, such as olive oil or vegetable oil)
Instructions
- Prepare the filling: In a mixing bowl, combine the diced tomato, red onion, chopped spinach, feta cheese, and shredded mozzarella cheese. Mix well to evenly distribute the ingredients.
- Assemble the quesadillas: Take one burrito-style tortilla and place about one-third of the filling mixture on one side. Fold the tortilla in half to enclose the filling completely.
- Cook the quesadillas: Heat a small amount of oil in a large flat pan or on a griddle over medium heat. Carefully transfer the folded tortillas to the pan. Cook each quesadilla for 3 to 4 minutes on each side, pressing down gently with a spatula, until the tortillas are lightly browned and the cheese inside has melted.
- Serve: Remove the cooked quesadillas from the pan and cut each into four slices. Serve warm with optional toppings such as sour cream, salsa, or pico de gallo for added flavor.
Notes
- For sweeter tomato flavor, use grape or cherry tomatoes.
- Pressing down while cooking helps achieve a crispy texture and ensures the cheese melts evenly.
- These quesadillas pair well with a side salad or fresh salsa for a complete meal.
- You can customize the filling by adding olives, roasted red peppers, or herbs like oregano for extra Mediterranean flair.
- Use low-fat cheese options for a lighter version.
