Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 4 pieces flour tortillas Choose large, pliable tortillas for easy folding; whole wheat varieties add a nuttier flavor and more fiber.
  • 1 cup fresh spinach, chopped Look for bright green leaves without wilting; baby spinach works well if you prefer a tender texture.
  • 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese Use low-moisture shredded for better melting and less sogginess.
  • 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese Opt for a block-style feta crumbled by hand for creamier pockets of flavor.
  • 1 small tomato, diced Vine-ripened tomatoes bring sweetness; remove excess seeds to prevent sogginess.
  • 1/4 cup red onion, thinly sliced Slice thinly or soak briefly in cold water to reduce pungency.
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil A good extra virgin olive oil adds fruitiness; heat gently.
  • to taste Black pepper Freshly cracked gives a brighter spice note.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a mixing bowl, combine mozzarella, feta, spinach, tomato, red onion, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.
  2. Lay one tortilla flat and spoon one-fourth of the filling mixture onto one half. Fold the tortilla over.
Cooking
  1. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add olive oil.
  2. Place the filled tortilla in the skillet and cook for about 3-4 minutes, until golden brown.
  3. Flip the quesadilla and cook for another 3-4 minutes until both sides are crispy.
  4. Remove from heat, slice into wedges, and serve warm.

Notes

Keep tortillas warm while assembling to prevent cracking. Pat diced tomato on paper towel to remove excess moisture.
