Ingredients

Scale

Quesadilla Ingredients

  • 4 whole wheat tortillas
  • 1 cup feta cheese, crumbled
  • 1 cup spinach, chopped
  • 1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes, chopped
  • 1/2 cup black olives, sliced
  • 1 red bell pepper, sliced
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste


Instructions

  1. Heat the pan: Heat olive oil in a pan over medium heat to prepare for cooking the quesadillas.
  2. Place the tortilla: Place one whole wheat tortilla flat in the heated pan.
  3. 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.
  4. Top with another tortilla: Cover the fillings with a second whole wheat tortilla to form the quesadilla.
  5. Cook the first side: Cook for 3-4 minutes or until the bottom tortilla is golden brown and crispy.
  6. 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.
  7. Remove and slice: Remove the cooked quesadilla from the pan and cut it into wedges for serving.
  8. 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.
