  • 2 cups Fresh Spinach Can be swapped with kale
  • 1 cup Shredded Mozzarella Cheese Use dairy-free mozzarella for vegan option
  • 1/2 cup Crumbled Feta Cheese Substitute with goat cheese for milder flavor
  • 1 cup Tomato (diced) Roma tomatoes are ideal

Equipment

Method
 

Preparation Steps
  1. In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded mozzarella, crumbled feta, fresh spinach, diced tomatoes, and thinly sliced red onion. Add a pinch of black pepper for flavor, and mix everything thoroughly until well combined.
  2. Lay one flour tortilla flat on a clean surface. Spoon one-fourth of the filling mixture onto one half of the tortilla. Gently fold the other half over the filling, creating a half-moon shape. Press down slightly to secure the tortilla.
  3. Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat, adding about a tablespoon of olive oil to the pan. Allow the oil to warm for a minute until shimmering.
  4. Carefully place the filled tortilla in the hot skillet. Cook each quesadilla for 3-4 minutes on one side, pressing gently with a spatula to ensure even cooking.
  5. After 3-4 minutes, flip the quesadilla over using your spatula. Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes on the other side until it's equally crispy and the cheese is fully melted.
  6. Once cooked, remove the quesadilla from the skillet and let it cool for a minute on a cutting board. Slice each quesadilla into wedges for easy sharing.
