Spinach and Feta Quesadillas offer a tasty quick solution for a healthy meal that satisfies hunger and delights your taste buds

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 large flour tortillas
  • 1 cup fresh spinach, packed and chopped
  • 3/4 cup crumbled feta cheese
  • 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella or Monterey Jack cheese (optional)
  • 1 small garlic clove, finely minced
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • Salt to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil (optional, for sautéing spinach)
  • 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
  • Instructions

  • Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add olive oil and sauté the minced garlic until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
  • Add the chopped spinach, stirring frequently, until wilted but still bright green, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly. Season with salt, pepper, and crushed red pepper flakes if using.
  • Place a tortilla on a clean surface. Spread half of the sautéed spinach evenly across the tortilla, followed by an even layer of crumbled feta and mozzarella/shredded cheese if using.
  • Top with the second tortilla, pressing gently to flatten.
  • In the same skillet, melt 1 tablespoon butter over medium heat. Carefully transfer the prepared quesadilla to the pan. Cook for 3-4 minutes or until the bottom tortilla is golden brown and crispy.
  • Slowly flip the quesadilla using a spatula, adding the remaining tablespoon of butter to the pan, and cook the other side for another 3-4 minutes until golden and cheese is melted.
  • Remove from heat and let the quesadilla rest for 1-2 minutes before slicing into wedges to help the cheese set slightly.
  • Notes

    A comforting quesadilla recipe featuring crispy tortillas wrapped around a melty, tangy mix of creamy feta and earthy spinach with garlic. Perfect for quick lunch, dinner, or a snack.
