Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large Flour tortillas
- 1 cup Feta cheese, crumbled
- 1 cup Shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 cup Fresh spinach, chopped
- 1 cup Cherry tomatoes, diced
- 0.25 cup Red onion, thinly sliced
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
Instructions
Place the tortillas on a clean, flat surface.
In a medium bowl, combine the crumbled feta cheese, shredded mozzarella cheese, chopped spinach, diced cherry tomatoes, sliced red onion, and chopped parsley. Mix well.
Season the mixture with ground black pepper and a pinch of salt, and stir to combine.
Spread half of the cheese and vegetable mixture evenly onto one side of two tortillas. Place the remaining two tortillas on top to create a sandwich, pressing down gently.
In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, place one quesadilla in the skillet.
Cook for 2-3 minutes on one side, until the tortilla is golden brown and crispy. Carefully flip the quesadilla and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes on the other side, ensuring the cheese inside melts completely.
Repeat the process with the second quesadilla, adding the remaining tablespoon of olive oil to the skillet if needed.
Remove the cooked quesadillas from the skillet and let them cool for 1-2 minutes before slicing into quarters or sixths.
Serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauce or a side salad.
