Scale
Filling Ingredients
- 1 diced tomato (grape or cherry tomatoes recommended for sweetness)
- 1/3 cup diced red onion
- 1 cup chopped spinach
- 1/2 cup feta cheese
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
Other Ingredients
- 3 burrito style tortillas
- 1 tablespoon oil (for cooking)
Instructions
- Prepare Filling: Combine the diced tomato, diced red onion, chopped spinach, feta cheese, and shredded mozzarella cheese in a bowl and mix well to create the quesadilla filling.
- Assemble Quesadillas: Lay each tortilla flat and spread one third of the filling on one half of each tortilla. Fold the tortilla in half to enclose the filling.
- Cook Quesadillas: Heat a small amount of oil in a large flat pan or on a griddle over medium heat. Place each folded tortilla onto the pan and cook for 3-4 minutes per side, pressing gently with a spatula until both sides are lightly browned and the cheese has melted.
- Serve: Remove from heat, cut each quesadilla into 4 slices, and serve with your favorite toppings such as sour cream, salsa, or pico de gallo.
Notes
- Use grape or cherry tomatoes for a sweeter flavor in the quesadilla filling.
- To make this recipe vegetarian, keep the cheese and vegetable filling as is; to alter for vegan, substitute cheeses with plant-based alternatives.
- Press the quesadilla gently with a spatula while cooking to ensure even browning and melting.
- This recipe is perfect for a quick 15-minute lunch or dinner on a busy day.
- Feel free to add your preferred toppings like sour cream, salsa, or pico de gallo for extra flavor.
