Ingredients
Vegetables
- 1 diced tomato (grape or cherry tomatoes work best for a sweeter taste, or plum tomatoes)
- ⅓ cup diced red onion
- 1 cup chopped spinach
Cheeses
- ½ cup feta cheese
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
Others
- 3 burrito style tortillas
- 1-2 teaspoons cooking oil (for pan frying)
Instructions
- Prepare the filling: In a mixing bowl, combine the diced tomato, red onion, chopped spinach, feta cheese, and shredded mozzarella to create a flavorful and colorful filling mixture.
- Assemble the quesadillas: Lay each burrito tortilla flat and generously place about one-third of the filling mixture on one half of the tortilla. Fold the tortilla over to cover the filling, creating a half-moon shape.
- Cook the quesadillas: Heat a small amount of oil in a large flat pan or griddle over medium heat. Transfer the folded tortillas to the pan and cook each side for 3-4 minutes, pressing down gently with a spatula, until the tortillas are lightly browned and the cheese has melted inside.
- Serve: Remove the quesadillas from the pan, cut each into 4 slices, and serve warm with your favorite toppings such as sour cream, salsa, or pico de gallo for extra flavor.
Notes
- Use burrito style tortillas for easier folding and holding the filling securely.
- To enhance flavor, consider adding herbs like oregano or a pinch of crushed red pepper to the filling.
- For a gluten-free option, substitute regular tortillas with gluten-free varieties.
- Ensure the pan is heated to medium before adding quesadillas to avoid burning the tortillas.
- Leftover quesadillas can be refrigerated and reheated in a pan or oven for best texture retention.
