Spinach and Feta Quesadillas

These quesadillas are made by folding toasted tortillas filled with wilted spinach and crumbled feta cheese, resulting in a crispy exterior and melty, flavorful interior. The dish involves sautéing greens and assembling the quesadillas before crisping them in a skillet until golden brown and bubbling. The end result is a warm, golden, and slightly flaky snack or light meal with a contrast between crunchy shell and tender filling.

Ingredients Equipment Method

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups fresh spinach roughly chopped
  • 4 whole flour tortillas large size
  • 1/2 cup feta cheese crumbled
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil for sautéing

Equipment

  • Skillet or frying pan
  • Spatula

Method
 

  1. Heat a skillet over medium heat and add a splash of olive oil. Once shimmering, add the chopped spinach and cook, stirring, until wilted and tender, about 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
  2. Lay a tortilla flat on a clean surface and evenly sprinkle half of the crumbled feta over one half of the tortilla.
  3. Spread a portion of the cooked spinach over the feta, covering the same half of the tortilla.
  4. Fold the tortilla in half, pressing gently to encourage fillings to stay inside.
  5. Place the folded tortilla on the heated skillet and cook for about 3-4 minutes, or until golden brown on the bottom. Flip carefully with a spatula and cook the other side until also golden and crispy, about 3 more minutes.
  6. Remove the quesadilla from the skillet and let it rest for a minute before slicing into wedges. Repeat with the remaining tortillas and fillings.
  7. Serve the quesadillas warm, with a crispy exterior and a warm, cheesy, and green-filled interior. Enjoy immediately for the best texture and flavor.
