Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 4 medium tortillas (flour, whole wheat, or gluten-free)
  • 2 cups fresh spinach (chopped)
  • 1 cup feta cheese (crumbled)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil or butter (for cooking)

Optional Add-ins

  • 1/4 cup sun-dried tomatoes (chopped)
  • 1/4 cup black olives (sliced)
  • 1/2 cup cooked grilled chicken (diced)

Instructions

  1. Prep the Ingredients: Rinse and chop the fresh spinach. Crumble the feta cheese into a bowl. Prepare any optional add-ins such as chopping sun-dried tomatoes, slicing black olives, and dicing cooked grilled chicken.
  2. Assemble the Quesadillas: Lay one tortilla flat on a clean surface. Evenly spread the chopped spinach and crumbled feta on one half of the tortilla. Add optional ingredients like sun-dried tomatoes, olives, and grilled chicken if desired. Fold the tortilla in half gently pressing to seal the edges.
  3. Cook the Quesadillas: Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add a small amount of olive oil or butter. Place the folded tortilla in the skillet and cook for 2 to 3 minutes on each side, or until the tortilla is golden brown and crispy and the cheese has melted inside.
  4. Repeat: Repeat the assembly and cooking process for the remaining tortillas.
  5. Slice and Serve: Use a sharp knife or pizza cutter to slice each quesadilla into wedges. Serve warm as a satisfying snack or light meal.

Notes

  • For a vegetarian option, omit the grilled chicken.
  • Use gluten-free tortillas to make this dish gluten-free.
  • Substitute the feta cheese with a dairy-free cheese to make it vegan.
  • Adjust cooking time slightly if using thicker or thinner tortillas.
  • Serve with salsa, sour cream, or guacamole for added flavor.
