Instructions
- Heat the pan: Heat olive oil in a pan over medium heat to prepare for cooking the quesadillas.
- Place the tortilla: Place one whole wheat tortilla flat in the heated pan.
- Add the fillings: Layer half of the crumbled feta, chopped spinach, chopped sun-dried tomatoes, sliced black olives, and sliced red bell pepper evenly over the tortilla.
- Top with another tortilla: Cover the fillings with a second whole wheat tortilla to form the quesadilla.
- Cook the first side: Cook for 3-4 minutes or until the bottom tortilla is golden brown and crispy.
- Flip the quesadilla: Carefully flip the quesadilla using a spatula and cook the other side for another 3-4 minutes until golden brown and the cheese is melted.
- Remove and slice: Remove the cooked quesadilla from the pan and cut it into wedges for serving.
- Repeat the process: Use the remaining ingredients to make a second quesadilla following the same method.
Notes
- Use fresh spinach for the best flavor and texture.
- You can substitute whole wheat tortillas with gluten-free tortillas if needed.
- Adjust the quantity of feta or vegetables according to your preference.
- Serve warm with a side of Greek yogurt or tzatziki sauce for extra Mediterranean flair.
- Ensure the pan is not too hot to avoid burning the tortillas before the cheese melts.
