Mediterranean Quesadillas with Spinach, Feta, Mozzarella & Red Onion

Crispy on the outside, melty and savory on the inside — these Mediterranean-style quesadillas are loaded with fresh spinach, tangy feta, gooey mozzarella, and sweet red onion. They’re quick, wholesome, and perfect for lunch, dinner, or even a hearty snack.

🌿 Ingredients (Serves 2–3)

• 4 whole wheat tortillas

• 2 cups fresh spinach (roughly chopped)

• ½ cup feta cheese (crumbled)

• 1 cup mozzarella cheese (shredded)

• ½ small red onion (thinly sliced)

• 1 tablespoon olive oil

• 1 clove garlic (minced)

• ½ teaspoon dried oregano

• ¼ teaspoon black pepper

• Optional: sliced olives, sun-dried tomatoes, red chili flakes

🥘 Instructions

1. Sauté the Spinach
   Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
   Add spinach and cook until just wilted (1–2 minutes). Remove from heat and drain excess moisture.

2. Prepare the Filling
   In a bowl, combine sautéed spinach, feta, mozzarella, red onion, oregano, and black pepper. Mix gently.

3. Assemble the Quesadillas
   Lay a tortilla flat. Spread the filling evenly over half of it, then fold it over to form a half-moon.
   Repeat with remaining tortillas.

4. Cook
   Heat a clean skillet over medium heat. Cook each quesadilla for 2–3 minutes per side until golden brown and the cheese is melted.

5. Serve
   Slice into wedges and serve warm.
