Ingredients
Scale
Filling
- 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
- ½ cup feta cheese
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
Other
- 3 burrito style tortillas
- Oil, for cooking (about 1-2 tablespoons)
Instructions
- Prepare the Filling: Combine the diced tomato, red onion, chopped spinach, feta cheese, and shredded mozzarella cheese in a bowl. Mix gently to evenly distribute the ingredients.
- Assemble the Quesadillas: Place about one-third of the filling on one half of each burrito-style tortilla. Fold the tortilla over to cover the filling, creating a half-moon shape.
- Heat the Pan: Heat a small amount of oil in a large flat pan or griddle over medium heat to ensure an even cooking surface and prevent sticking.
- Cook the Quesadillas: Place the folded tortillas in the hot pan. Cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, pressing down gently with a spatula to help the cheese melt and the tortilla brown evenly. The quesadillas should be lightly browned and crispy on both sides.
- Serve: Cut each quesadilla into 4 slices and serve warm with your favorite toppings such as sour cream, salsa, or pico de gallo.
Notes
- Use grape or cherry tomatoes for a sweeter, less watery filling.
- Pressing the quesadilla while cooking helps the cheese melt thoroughly and creates a crispy finish.
- For a vegetarian option, this recipe is suitable as is.
- Adjust the filling quantities if making more or fewer quesadillas.
- Serve immediately for best texture and flavor.
