Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 large flour tortillas
  • 2 cups fresh spinach, chopped
  • 1 cup crumbled feta cheese
  • 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese (optional for extra meltiness)
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin (optional for added flavor)
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • Fresh cilantro or parsley for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Saute the onions and garlic in a tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat until translucent. Add chopped spinach and cook until wilted. Season with salt, pepper, and cumin, then remove from heat and let cool slightly.
  2. Lay a tortilla flat on a clean surface. Spread a portion of the cooked spinach mixture over half of the tortilla. Top with crumbled feta cheese and a sprinkle of mozzarella if desired. Fold the tortilla over to create a half-moon shape.
  3. Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Carefully place the assembled quesadilla and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, until golden brown and crispy.
  4. Slice the quesadillas into wedges and serve hot with salsa, guacamole, or a side salad. Garnish with fresh cilantro or parsley for a burst of flavor.

Notes

  • Use fresh spinach for the best flavor and texture.
  • Cook until tortillas are golden and crispy for a crunchier quesadilla.
  • Customize fillings with sun-dried tomatoes or olives for added flavor.
  • Keep warm and melted using an air fryer or oven for perfect texture.
