Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 4 medium tortillas (flour, whole wheat, or gluten-free)
- 2 cups fresh spinach, chopped
- 1 cup feta cheese, crumbled
- 2 tablespoons olive oil or butter for cooking
Optional Add-ins:
- ¼ cup sun-dried tomatoes, chopped
- ¼ cup black olives, sliced
- ½ cup cooked grilled chicken, diced
Instructions
- Prepare the filling: In a bowl, mix together the chopped spinach, crumbled feta cheese, and any optional add-ins you choose.
- Assemble the quesadillas: Place a tortilla on a flat surface, spread a portion of the filling mixture evenly on one half of the tortilla, then fold the other half over to create a half-moon shape.
- Cook the quesadillas: Heat olive oil or butter in a skillet over medium heat. Cook each quesadilla for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and the cheese is melted.
- Serve: Cut the quesadillas into wedges and serve hot.
Notes
- You can customize the fillings based on your preferences, such as adding more veggies or using different types of cheese.
- For a crispy exterior, you can brush the tortillas with a little oil before cooking.
