Heat 1 teaspoon of olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
Stir in the fresh spinach leaves and cook, stirring occasionally, until wilted, about 2-3 minutes. Remove the spinach from the skillet and set aside.
Wipe the skillet clean and return to the stove over medium heat.
Place one whole wheat tortilla in the skillet. Sprinkle 1/4 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese and 1/4 cup of crumbled feta cheese evenly over half of the tortilla.
Layer 1/4 cup of cooked spinach and a few slices of red onion on top of the cheese.
Fold the tortilla in half to cover the filling and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until the tortilla is golden brown and the cheese is melted.
Remove the quesadilla from the skillet and transfer to a cutting board. Repeat the process with the remaining tortillas and fillings.
Cut the quesadillas into wedges and serve immediately. Enjoy!
