Ingredients You’ll Need

Here’s what’s going into your quesadilla magic:

4 flour tortillas
1 cup fresh spinach, chopped
½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese
½ cup crumbled feta cheese
1 small tomato, diced
¼ cup red onion, thinly sliced
¼ teaspoon black pepper
1 tablespoon olive oil (for frying)

How to Make Mediterranean Quesadillas

1. Mix Up the Filling

Grab a medium mixing bowl and toss in your mozzarella, feta, chopped spinach, diced tomatoes, sliced red onion, and black pepper. Stir until everything’s nicely combined.

I love this step—the colors alone make me feel healthier just looking at them!

2. Fill the Tortillas

Lay one flour tortilla flat on your work surface. Scoop about a quarter of your cheesy veggie mixture onto half of the tortilla.

Fold the other half over so it looks like a half-moon. (If you’re a perfectionist like me, gently press it down so nothing escapes.)

3. Get That Sizzle Going

Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat. Add the olive oil and swirl it around.

Place your filled tortilla in the pan and cook for 3–4 minutes per side. Press it gently with a spatula now and then to help it brown evenly and melt all that glorious cheese inside.

4. Slice and Serve

Remove your quesadilla from the pan and let it cool for a minute (I know, patience is hard). Then slice it into wedges, serve, and prepare for happy faces around the table!

Aneta’s Quick Tips for Mediterranean Quesadillas

Cheese Choice: Want it creamier? Sub goat cheese for feta. Feeling spicy? Add a pinch of red pepper flakes.
Tortilla Hack: Use whole wheat tortillas for a fiber boost.
Veggie Variations: Toss in chopped olives, artichokes, or roasted red peppers for extra Mediterranean flair.
Don’t Panic About Leaks: If a bit of cheese oozes out, that’s just bonus crispy goodness!

Fun fact: The first time I made these, my kids said they “tasted like pizza and a salad had a baby.” I’ll take that as a compliment!

FAQs About Mediterranean Quesadillas

Can I substitute another cheese instead of feta?

Absolutely! Goat cheese, ricotta salata, or even cream cheese can work well. Just keep the Mediterranean vibe in mind.

How do I store leftover Mediterranean Quesadillas?

Pop leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat on a skillet to keep them crispy (the microwave will make them soft).

Can I make Mediterranean Quesadillas gluten-free?

Yes! Just swap the flour tortillas for your favorite gluten-free tortillas.
