Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 4 large flour tortillas
  • 4 cups fresh baby spinach
  • 1 small onion diced
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 cup feta cheese crumbled
  • 1 cup mozzarella shredded
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes optional
  • 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil

Method
 

  1. Sauté onion in 1 tbsp olive oil until soft. Add garlic for 30 seconds.
  2. Add spinach and cook until wilted.
  3. Critical: Drain spinach and squeeze out all excess moisture using a towel.
  4. In a bowl, mix spinach, feta, mozzarella, and seasonings.
  5. Place filling on half of each tortilla; fold over.
  6. Grill in a skillet over medium-low heat with remaining oil until golden (3-4 mins per side).
  7. Rest for 1 minute, slice, and serve.

Notes

  • Pro Tip: Do not skip the spinach draining step; moisture will make the tortilla soggy.
  • Storage: Leftovers can be refrigerated for 3 days. Reheat in a skillet or air fryer to maintain the crispy texture.
  • Cheese Pairing: Always use a melting cheese (like mozzarella) alongside the feta, as feta alone does not melt well enough to hold the quesadilla together.
