Ingredients

  • 4 large flour tortillas (8–10 inch / 20–25 cm)
  • 2 cups fresh baby spinach
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 clove garlic, finely minced
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 3/4 cup crumbled feta cheese
  • 1/4 tsp ground black pepper
  • Optional: pinch of red pepper flakes
  • Optional: 1 tbsp fresh herbs (parsley or dill)

Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
  2. Add spinach and cook for 2–3 minutes until wilted. Season with pepper and red pepper flakes if using. Remove from heat.
  3. Press the spinach mixture in a strainer or paper towels to remove excess moisture.
  4. Preheat a clean skillet over medium-low heat. Place one tortilla flat in the skillet.
  5. On half the tortilla, layer 1/4 cup cheddar, 1/3 of spinach mixture, 1/3 of the feta, and another 1/4 cup cheddar.
  6. Fold tortilla over the filling to form a half-moon shape. Cook for 2–3 minutes per side until golden and crisp.
  7. Let rest 1 minute before cutting into wedges. Repeat with remaining ingredients.
  8. Serve immediately while hot and crispy.

Notes

  • Pressing moisture out of spinach is key for crisp quesadillas.
  • Customize with extra veggies, different cheeses, or cooked meat.
  • For gluten-free version, use GF tortillas.
  • Serve with yogurt dip, salsa, or salad.
