Ingredients
- Flour Tortillas (8 large, 10-inch diameter)
- Fresh Spinach (5 ounces, pre-washed)
- Feta Cheese (1/2 cup, crumbled)
- Shredded Mozzarella Cheese (1 cup)
- Red Onion (1/4 cup, thinly sliced)
- Olive Oil (2 tablespoons, divided)
- Dried Oregano (1/2 teaspoon)
Instructions
- Step 1: Preheat a large skillet or non-stick griddle over medium heat. In a small bowl, gently combine the wilted spinach, crumbled feta, mozzarella, and dried oregano. Set the filling aside.
- Step 2: Spread 1 teaspoon of olive oil (or brush melted butter) lightly over one side of four of the tortillas. Place one oiled tortilla, oil-side down, in the heated skillet.
- Step 3: Sprinkle half of the shredded mozzarella cheese on the tortilla base. Spread a thin, even layer of the spinach/feta/onion filling mixture over the mozzarella, leaving a 1/2-inch border. Top the filling with the remaining shredded mozzarella.
- Step 4: Place a second tortilla on top of the filling. Cook the quesadilla for 3 to 4 minutes per side, pressing down gently with a spatula, until the exterior is golden brown and the cheese is completely melted and gooey.
- Step 5: Remove the cooked quesadilla from the skillet, transfer it to a cutting board, and let it rest for one minute. Slice into wedges (typically 4 or 6 pieces) and serve immediately. Repeat the process for the remaining tortillas and filling.
Notes
- For the crispiest result, always ensure your wilted spinach is squeezed thoroughly to remove excess moisture before combining it with the cheese filling.
- Refrigerate leftover wedges wrapped individually in aluminum foil or stacked with parchment paper in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
- To restore the desirable crisp texture, reheat chilled wedges in a 350°F oven or a toaster oven for about 8 minutes rather than microwaving.
- Serve these Mediterranean wedges with a refreshing side of plain Greek yogurt mixed with a little lemon zest, or a vibrant sun-dried tomato dipping sauce.
