Ingredients
Scale
4 whole wheat tortillas
2 cups fresh spinach, chopped
1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 clove garlic, minced
Salt and pepper to taste
Cooking spray or extra oil for the pan
Instructions
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add chopped spinach, season with salt and pepper, and sauté for 2–3 minutes until wilted. Remove from heat and set aside.
Lay out two tortillas. Sprinkle each with mozzarella and feta, then evenly distribute the spinach mixture over the cheese. Top with the remaining tortillas.
Heat a clean skillet over medium heat and lightly grease with cooking spray or oil.
Cook each quesadilla for 2–3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cheese is melted.
Remove from skillet, let rest for a minute, then slice into wedges and serve.
Notes
Use frozen spinach (thawed and drained) if fresh is not available.
Add sun-dried tomatoes or olives for extra Mediterranean flavor.
