Ingredients

• 4 large Flour tortillas
• 1 cup Feta cheese, crumbled
• 1 cup Mozzarella cheese, shredded
• 2 cups Fresh spinach, chopped
• 0.5 cup Kalamata olives, pitted and sliced
• 0.5 cup Sun-dried tomatoes, chopped
• 0.25 cup Red onion, thinly sliced
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
• 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 0.5 cup Tzatziki sauce (optional, for serving)

Directions

Step 1

In a medium-sized bowl, combine the crumbled feta cheese, shredded mozzarella, chopped spinach, sliced Kalamata olives, sun-dried tomatoes, and thinly sliced red onion. Mix well.

Step 2

Add oregano and garlic powder to the mixture, and stir again to evenly distribute the seasonings.

Step 3

Lay out two tortillas on a flat surface. Divide the filling evenly between them, spreading it out to cover the surface while leaving about 1/2 inch of space around the edges.

Step 4

Place the remaining two tortillas on top to create quesadilla sandwiches.

Step 5

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat.

Step 6

Gently place one quesadilla into the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes, or until the bottom is golden brown and the cheese begins to melt.

Step 7

Carefully flip the quesadilla using a spatula and cook for another 3-4 minutes, until both sides are golden and the filling is heated through.

Step 8

Remove the cooked quesadilla from the skillet, and repeat the process with the second quesadilla, adding the remaining olive oil to the pan if needed.

Step 9

Transfer the quesadillas to a cutting board and let them rest for 1-2 minutes before slicing them into wedges.

Step 10

Serve warm with a side of tzatziki sauce for dipping, if desired.
