Equipment

  • Grill pan or frying pan

Ingredients

For the Filling

  • 2 cups chopped spinach leaves baby spinach can be used for a milder flavor
  • 1/2 cup pitted chopped Greek olives Kalamata or green olives are alternatives
  • 1/2 cup finely diced red onion soaking in cold water tames the flavor
  • 1 cup diced sweet grape tomatoes cherry tomatoes are a perfect substitute
  • 1 cup shredded feta cheese opt for high-quality feta for the best flavor
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese consider a blend with cheddar for variation
  • 1 teaspoon minced Greek oregano

For Cooking

  • 1 tablespoon Greek olive oil optional, use extra virgin for the best flavor
  • 1 tablespoon canola oil or butter for frying
  • 4 large flour tortillas whole wheat tortillas can be a healthier alternative

Instructions

How to Make Savory Delicious Mediterranean Quesadilla

  • In a large bowl, mix chopped spinach, pitted chopped Greek olives, finely diced red onion, diced grape tomatoes, shredded feta, shredded mozzarella, and minced Greek oregano until everything is well combined and vibrant.
  • Warm a grill pan or frying pan over medium heat, adding a drizzle of canola oil or butter to prevent sticking and ensure a lovely golden crust.
  • Spread the tasty filling over half of each flour tortilla, then fold it in half, creating a delightful pocket of flavors. If you like, drizzle a bit of Greek olive oil for extra richness.
  • Gently place the folded tortillas in the heated pan, cooking for about 4-5 minutes, until they turn golden and crispy; covering the pan can help melt the cheese.
  • Carefully use a spatula to flip the quesadillas and cook for another 4-5 minutes, until both sides are beautifully golden brown and crunchy.
  • Allow the quesadillas to cool for a minute. Slice them into triangles and serve warm with a side of tzatziki or salsa for that delightful extra zing.

Notes

Optional: Garnish with fresh herbs like parsley or basil for a burst of color and flavor.
