Spinach and Feta Quesadillas: An Amazing Ultimate Recipe


  • Author: Emma Carter
  • Total Time: 30 minutes

Ingredients

– 8 flour tortillas
– 2 cups fresh spinach, chopped
– 1 cup feta cheese, crumbled
– 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
– 1 tablespoon olive oil
– 1 clove garlic, minced
– 1 teaspoon dried oregano
– Salt and pepper to taste
– Optional: Greek yogurt or salsa for serving


Instructions

Creating Spinach and Feta Quesadillas is a breeze when you follow these simple steps:

1. Sauté Spinach and Garlic: Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Add the chopped spinach and cook until wilted, approximately 2-3 minutes. Season with salt, pepper, and dried oregano.

2. Prepare Filling: Once the spinach is cooked, remove from heat and let it cool slightly. In a bowl, combine the sautéed spinach, crumbled feta cheese, and shredded mozzarella cheese. Mix well.

3. Heat Tortillas: Wipe the skillet clean and return it to medium heat. Place one tortilla in the skillet, allowing it to warm for 20 seconds on one side.

4. Assemble Quesadilla: On one half of the tortilla, spread a generous portion of the spinach and cheese mixture. Fold the tortilla in half to encase the filling.

5. Cook Quesadilla: Cook the folded quesadilla for about 2-3 minutes, until the bottom is golden brown. Carefully flip it over, cooking for an additional 2-3 minutes on the other side.

6. Repeat Process: Remove the quesadilla from the skillet and place it on a cutting board. Cut into wedges and keep warm. Repeat the process with the remaining tortillas and filling.

7. Serve: Optionally, serve with Greek yogurt or salsa on the side for dipping.

By following these steps, you’ll create golden-brown, crispy quesadillas filled with delicious spinach and feta, making you look like a culinary expert!
