Instructions
Preparation
- Start by gathering all your ingredients and chop the spinach, dice the tomato, and thinly slice the red onion.
Mix Filling
- In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded mozzarella, crumbled feta, chopped spinach, diced tomato, sliced red onion, and black pepper.
Assemble Quesadillas
- Lay one tortilla flat on a clean surface and place half of the filling mixture on one half of the tortilla.
- Fold the tortilla in half over the filling.
Cook Quesadillas
- Preheat a non-stick skillet on medium heat, add a tablespoon of olive oil, and let it coat the bottom.
- Place the folded tortilla in the skillet and cook for about 3-4 minutes until the bottom is golden brown and crispy.
- Flip the quesadilla using a spatula and cook for another 3-4 minutes until both sides are crispy.
- Remove from the skillet and let it sit for a minute before slicing into wedges.
Notes
For a spicy kick, add jalapeños or crushed red pepper to the filling. Let the quesadillas rest before slicing to avoid them falling apart.
