1. Lay the tortillas flat on a clean surface.
2. In a medium bowl, combine the crumbled feta cheese, chopped baby spinach, halved cherry tomatoes, and thinly sliced red onion.
3. Add olive oil, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper to the bowl. Mix well to evenly coat the ingredients.
4. Spread the feta and vegetable mixture evenly over two of the tortillas, leaving about 1/2 inch of space around the edges.
5. Top each with the remaining tortillas to form two quesadillas.
6. Heat a large non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat.
7. Place one quesadilla in the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes per side, or until the tortilla is golden brown and crispy, and the filling is warmed through. Repeat with the second quesadilla.
8. Remove the quesadillas from the skillet and let them rest for 1-2 minutes before slicing into quarters.
9. Serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauce or a side salad, if desired.
