Description
Mediterranean quesadillas with spinach, feta, mozzarella, and red onion are a crispy, melty vegetarian twist on a classic. Loaded with Mediterranean flavors and gooey cheese, they’re quick, satisfying, and perfect for lunch, dinner, or snacking.
Ingredients
- 2 cups fresh spinach (or 1/2 cup thawed frozen spinach, squeezed dry)
- 1/2 cup feta cheese, crumbled
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/4 red onion, thinly sliced
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 4 medium flour tortillas
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
- Optional: 2 tablespoons sun-dried tomatoes (chopped), olives, fresh parsley or oregano
Instructions
- Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Sauté garlic and red onion for 2–3 minutes until softened and fragrant.
- Add spinach and cook until wilted. Season with salt and pepper. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
- Lay out tortillas. On half of each, sprinkle mozzarella and feta, then top with spinach mixture and optional ingredients.
- Fold each tortilla in half and place in a clean skillet over medium heat.
- Cook 2–3 minutes per side, pressing lightly with a spatula, until golden brown and cheese is melted.
- Repeat with remaining tortillas. Slice and serve warm.
Notes
- Add sun-dried tomatoes or olives for extra Mediterranean flavor.
- Swap feta with goat cheese or ricotta for a different texture.
- Serve with hummus, tzatziki, or lemon yogurt sauce for dipping.
- Reheat in a skillet or toaster oven for the crispiest results.
- Prep the filling ahead and assemble just before cooking to avoid soggy tortillas.
