Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

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
  • 0.25 cup sun-dried tomatoes chopped (optional)
  • 0.25 cup black olives sliced (optional)
  • 0.5 cup cooked grilled chicken diced (optional)

Equipment

  • Non-Stick Skillet
  • Spatula
  • Knife or Pizza Cutter

Method
 

  1. Prep the Ingredients: Rinse and chop the fresh spinach. Crumble the feta cheese into a bowl. If you are using optional add-ins like sun-dried tomatoes or grilled chicken, prepare those as well.
    2 cups fresh spinach, 1 cup feta cheese, 0.25 cup sun-dried tomatoes, 0.5 cup cooked grilled chicken
  2. Assemble the Quesadillas: Lay a tortilla flat on a clean surface and evenly spread the spinach and feta cheese on one half of the tortilla. Add any optional ingredients if desired.
    4 medium tortillas, 2 cups fresh spinach, 1 cup feta cheese
  3. Fold and Seal: Fold the tortilla in half over the filling, pressing down gently with your hand to help seal the ingredients inside.
  4. Heat the Skillet: Place a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add a small amount of olive oil or butter to coat the bottom.
    2 tablespoons olive oil or butter
  5. Cook until Crispy: Place the folded tortilla in the skillet and cook for 2 to 3 minutes on each side. The quesadilla is ready when the tortilla is golden brown and crispy.
  6. Repeat: Repeat the cooking process for the remaining tortillas and filling.
  7. Slice and Serve: Use a sharp knife or a pizza cutter to slice the quesadillas into wedges. Serve them warm with your favorite dips or side dishes.

Notes

Prioritize fresh ingredients, especially high-quality feta, for the best texture and tang. Avoid overfilling the tortillas to prevent them from becoming soggy and difficult to flip.
