Ingredients
  

For the Quesadilla Filling
  • 1 large tomato Adds freshness and juiciness; use a ripe tomato for better flavor.
  • 1/4 cup red onion Provides sharpness and crunch; substitute with green onions for a milder taste.
  • 2 cups spinach Contributes nutrition and color; sauté briefly to reduce moisture or pat dry to avoid sogginess.
  • 3/4 cup crumbled feta cheese Offers a salty, tangy profile; substitute with goat cheese for a different tang.
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese Ensures a melty texture; can mix with cheddar for a sharper flavor.
For the Tortilla Base
  • 3 8-inch flour tortillas Serves as the base for the quesadilla; whole wheat tortillas can provide extra fiber.
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano Adds aromatic depth; fresh oregano can be used for a more intense flavor.

Equipment

  • Skillet
  • medium bowl

Method
 

Preparation Steps
  1. In a medium bowl, gently toss together the chopped tomatoes, red onion, spinach, feta, mozzarella, and dried oregano.
  2. Lay out your tortillas and place about 1/3 cup of the prepared filling on one half of each tortilla. Fold the other half over.
  3. Preheat a skillet over medium heat and lightly oil the surface.
  4. Place the folded quesadillas in the skillet. Cook for 3-4 minutes until the bottom is golden brown, then carefully flip and cook the other side for an additional 3-4 minutes.
  5. Once cooked, allow the quesadillas to rest for 1 minute before cutting them into triangles and serving warm.
