Ingredients
Scale
Filling
- 1 diced tomato (grape/cherry tomatoes preferred for sweetness, or plum tomatoes)
- 1/3 cup diced red onion
- 1 cup chopped spinach
- 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
Other
- 3 burrito style tortillas
- 1–2 teaspoons oil (for cooking)
Instructions
- Prepare the filling: In a bowl, combine the diced tomato, diced red onion, chopped spinach, crumbled feta cheese, and shredded mozzarella cheese thoroughly to create the quesadilla filling.
- Assemble the quesadillas: Lay each burrito style tortilla flat and place one-third of the filling on one half of each tortilla. Carefully fold the tortilla over to cover the filling, forming a half-moon shape.
- Cook the quesadillas: Heat a small amount of oil in a large flat pan or griddle over medium heat. Once hot, transfer the folded tortillas to the pan. Cook each quesadilla for 3 to 4 minutes per side, pressing gently with a spatula to ensure even browning and that the cheese inside melts completely.
- Serve: Remove the quesadillas from the pan and let them rest slightly before cutting each into 4 slices. Serve with your favorite toppings such as sour cream, salsa, or pico de gallo.
Notes
- Grape or cherry tomatoes are preferred for a sweeter, less watery filling.
- Use burrito style tortillas as they are larger and easier to fold over.
- Pressing down lightly with the spatula helps melt the cheese and brown the tortilla evenly.
- Customize your toppings to taste – sour cream and salsa complement the Mediterranean flavors nicely.
- For a crispier quesadilla, cook a little longer but avoid burning the tortilla.
