Ingredients You’ll Need
- 4 Flour Tortillas
- 1 Cup Fresh Spinach (Chopped)
- 1/2 Cup Shredded Mozzarella Cheese
- 1/2 Cup Crumbled Feta Cheese
- 1 Small Tomato (Diced)
- 1/4 Cup Red Onion (Thinly Sliced)
- 1 Tablespoon Olive Oil
- Black Pepper (To Taste)
Let’s Get Cooking!
This recipe is as simple as it sounds! Grab a skillet and let’s bring these Mediterranean quesadillas to life!
Mix It Up: In a mixing bowl, combine the mozzarella cheese, feta cheese, spinach, diced tomato, red onion, and black pepper. Stir everything together until evenly mixed. Yep, that’s it, so easy!
Tortilla Time: Lay one tortilla flat on a clean surface. Place one-fourth of the filling mixture on half of the tortilla, then fold the tortilla over to cover the filling. Press gently and get ready for some crispy goodness.
Heat Things Up: Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil (you’ll love the smell as it warms!).
Cook It: Once the oil is hot, place the filled tortilla in the skillet and cook for about 3-4 minutes or until golden brown. You want that perfect crispy exterior. Use a spatula to lift the quesadilla a bit and peek underneath, if it’s golden, go ahead and flip it!
Flip and Finish: Carefully flip the quesadilla and cook for another 3-4 minutes until both sides are crispy and golden, and the insides are all melty and divine.
Slice and Serve: Remove from heat, slice into wedges, and serve warm. I like to drizzle some extra olive oil on top if I’m feeling fancy!

How to Serve This Recipe
Serving Suggestions
These quesadillas are delightful on their own but pair beautifully with:
- A fresh green salad (hello, vitamins!)
- A side of tzatziki or hummus for dipping
- Salsa, hot sauce, or even a simple dollop of sour cream
Storage
Leftovers can be stored in the fridge for up to 3 days. Just make sure they’re in an airtight container, otherwise, they might get a little soggy!
Reheating Instructions
For the best results, reheat them on a skillet over medium heat to crisp them back up. You could also pop them in the microwave, but they won’t have that nice, crispy exterior.
Freezer Friendly
Yes! These quesadillas freeze beautifully. Just wrap them in foil or plastic wrap and pop them in the freezer. When you’re ready to eat, you can reheat them in the oven directly (around 350°F for about 15-20 minutes) perfect for meal prep!
