Mediterranean Quesadillas
A flavorful twist on quesadillas with Mediterranean-style fillings like spinach, feta, mozzarella, red onion and tomatoes.
Equipment
- Large frying pan or griddle
- Spatula
Ingredients
Filling
- 2 cups fresh spinach, chopped
- ½ cup feta cheese, crumbled
- 1 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 1 large tomato, diced
- ¼ cup red onion, thinly sliced
- 4 large flour tortillas
- olive oil or butter for cooking
- salt & pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Pre-heat a frying pan or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with olive oil or butter.
- In a bowl combine the chopped spinach, diced tomato, sliced red onion, crumbled feta and shredded mozzarella. Season with salt and pepper if needed.
- Lay one tortilla flat, spread about a quarter of the filling over one half of the tortilla, then fold the other half over to enclose it.
- Place the folded tortilla into the hot pan. Cook about 3-4 minutes on the first side until golden brown, then flip and cook another 2-3 minutes until the cheese is melted and the tortilla is crisp.
- Repeat with the remaining tortillas and filling. Slice each quesadilla into wedges and serve immediately, optionally with a side of salsa, yoghurt or tzatziki.
Notes
Feel free to add extras like Kalamata olives, roasted red pepper slices or a drizzle of hummus inside for extra Mediterranean flavour.
