Mediterranean Quesadillas combine fresh vegetables, feta, and mozzarella cheese wrapped in warm tortillas, creating a flavorful and easy-to-make meal perfect for a quick lunch or dinner. The quesadillas are lightly pan-cooked to achieve a crispy exterior while melting the cheeses inside for a delicious Mediterranean twist on a classic favorite.

Ingredients

Scale

Vegetables

  • 1 diced tomato (grape/cherry tomatoes preferred for sweetness)
  • 1/3 cup diced red onion
  • 1 cup chopped spinach

Cheese

  • 1/2 cup feta cheese
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

Other

  • 3 burrito style tortillas
  • Small amount of cooking oil (for pan frying)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the filling: In a bowl, combine the diced tomato, red onion, chopped spinach, feta cheese, and shredded mozzarella cheese until evenly mixed.
  2. Assemble the quesadillas: Place about one-third of the filling mixture on one half of each burrito-style tortilla. Fold the tortillas in half to encase the filling.
  3. Cook the quesadillas: Heat a small amount of oil in a large flat pan or griddle over medium heat. Place the folded tortillas in the pan and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side. Press down gently with a spatula during cooking to brown the tortillas evenly and ensure the cheese melts inside.
  4. Serve: Remove the quesadillas from the pan and cut each into 4 slices. Serve warm with optional toppings such as sour cream, salsa, or pico de gallo to enhance the flavors.

Notes

  • Using grape or cherry tomatoes provides a sweeter flavor compared to plum tomatoes.
  • Pressing the quesadillas while cooking helps them brown evenly and melt the cheese thoroughly.
  • Feel free to substitute spinach with kale or add olives for extra Mediterranean flavor.
  • If you prefer a crispier texture, cook the quesadillas a bit longer but watch to prevent burning.
  • Serve with fresh dips like tzatziki or hummus for a Mediterranean experience.
