Description
Spinach and Feta Quesadillas are a quick and healthy delight, perfect for a nutritious meal or snack.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups fresh spinach, chopped
- 1 cup feta cheese, crumbled
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 4 large flour tortillas
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Sour cream or salsa for serving (optional)
Instructions
- In a large skillet over medium heat, add the olive oil. Once hot, add the chopped spinach and sauté for about 2-3 minutes until wilted.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the sautéed spinach, feta cheese, mozzarella cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly combined.
- Place one tortilla in the skillet over medium heat. Spoon the filling onto one side of the tortilla, then fold it over into a half-moon shape.
- Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the tortilla is golden brown and the cheese is melted. Repeat with the remaining tortillas and filling.
- Once cooked, remove from the skillet and let cool for a minute before slicing into wedges. Serve with sour cream or salsa if desired.
Notes
- For a spicier kick, add diced jalapeños or crushed red pepper flakes to the cheese mixture.
- To make it vegetarian-friendly, substitute the feta with a dairy-free cheese alternative.
