Spinach and Feta Quesadillas are a quick, cheesy, and savory meal packed with Mediterranean flavor. With sautéed spinach, tangy feta, and crispy golden tortillas, this easy recipe is perfect for lunch, dinner, or a satisfying snack.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups fresh spinach (or 1 cup frozen, thawed and drained)
  • 1/2 cup feta cheese, crumbled
  • 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella or other melty cheese (optional)
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil or butter
  • 2 large flour tortillas
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Sauté garlic for 30 seconds until fragrant.
  2. Add spinach and cook until wilted. Season with salt and pepper. (If using frozen spinach, squeeze out excess moisture first.)
  3. In a bowl, mix cooked spinach with crumbled feta and mozzarella (if using).
  4. Spread the filling over half of a tortilla and fold it over.
  5. In a clean skillet, cook the quesadilla for 2–3 minutes per side until golden and crispy.
  6. Let cool slightly, slice into wedges, and serve warm.

Notes

  • Add sun-dried tomatoes, olives, or red pepper flakes for more flavor.
  • Add cooked chicken or chickpeas for extra protein.
  • Swap feta with goat cheese or ricotta for a different texture.
  • Whole wheat or spinach wraps add extra nutrition.
  • Great with Greek yogurt, tzatziki, hummus, or lemon wedges for dipping.
