Why make this recipe

Think of this as your new go-to for a quick bite that’s full of flavor. Here are a few reasons to love it:

Easy cleanup: You only need one skillet! Less mess means more time to kick back and relax. 🍷
Family-friendly: Kids love quesadillas, and you can sneak in those veggies without anyone noticing. Genius, right?

Ingredients:

You don’t need fancy stuff — just these basics!

4 flour tortillas
1 cup fresh spinach (chopped)
1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
1 small tomato (diced)
1/4 cup red onion (thinly sliced)
1 tablespoon olive oil
Black pepper (to taste)

Directions:

In a mixing bowl, combine the mozzarella cheese, feta cheese, spinach, tomato, red onion, and black pepper. Mix well.
Lay one tortilla flat and place one-fourth of the filling mixture on half of the tortilla. Fold it over to cover that scrumptious filling!
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil.
Place the filled tortilla in the skillet and cook for about 3-4 minutes until golden brown.
Flip carefully and cook for another 3-4 minutes until both sides are crispy.
Remove from heat, slice into wedges, and serve warm.

How to make Mediterranean Quesadillas (Overview)

Making these quesadillas is like a breeze on a summer afternoon. Start by mixing your cheeses and fresh veggies in a bowl. Lay out your tortillas and load them up with that cheesy goodness before flipping them to the skillet. Pro tip: Make sure your skillet is hot enough for an instant golden crust — no one likes a soggy quesadilla!

How to serve Mediterranean Quesadillas

Serve these beauties warm, and watch them beckon you with their golden-brown edges and aromatic fillings. Pair with a fresh Greek salad or a dollop of tzatziki on the side for a refreshing crunch. The contrast of the crispy tortilla and creamy cheese will have your taste buds dancing!

How to store Mediterranean Quesadillas

If you somehow have leftovers (which I doubt!), you can store them in the fridge for 3-4 days. To reheat, just pop them in a skillet for a few minutes to regain that crispy texture. You could also freeze them, and they’ll keep for about 2-3 months. Just make sure to layer them with parchment paper to prevent sticking!

Tips to make Mediterranean Quesadillas

Swap cheeses: Feel free to mix in some goat cheese or cheddar if that’s what you have on hand.
Add extra veggies: Zucchini or bell peppers make wonderful additions to the filling!
Experiment with spices: A pinch of oregano or red pepper flakes can elevate the flavor even more.
Don’t rush the grilling: Let them cook until they’re nice and crispy — it really makes all the difference.

Variation

Want to switch things up a bit? Make them vegan by omitting the cheese and adding more veggies or some protein like chickpeas. You could even throw in some olives or artichokes for an extra Mediterranean kick.
