Ingredients
  

  • 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)

Method
 

  1. Combine mozzarella, feta, chopped spinach, diced tomato, sliced red onion, and black pepper in a bowl and mix thoroughly.
  2. Spread one quarter of the filling onto half of a tortilla then fold it over to enclose the mixture.
  3. Warm a non-stick pan over medium heat and add the olive oil.
  4. Place the folded tortilla in the pan and cook for 3 to 4 minutes until it turns golden and crisp on the underside.
  5. Flip the quesadilla carefully and cook for another 3 to 4 minutes until the other side is also golden and crunchy.
  6. Take the quesadilla off the heat, cut into wedges, and serve while hot.

Notes

  • For a lighter option, try using whole wheat tortillas or add a side salad to complete the meal. Leftovers store well in the fridge for up to 2 days and reheat nicely in a skillet.
