Ingredients

• 4 Large flour tortillas
• 1 cup Feta cheese, crumbled
• 1 cup Mozzarella cheese, shredded
• 0.5 cup Red onion, thinly sliced
• 1 cup Cherry tomatoes, halved
• 1 cup Spinach leaves, fresh
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
• 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
• 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Preheat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat.

Step 2

In a small bowl, mix the crumbled feta, shredded mozzarella, fresh parsley, dried oregano, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper until well combined.

Step 3

Brush one side of each tortilla with a light layer of olive oil. This will help achieve a golden, crispy exterior.

Step 4

Lay a tortilla, oiled side down, on a clean surface. Sprinkle a quarter of the cheese mixture evenly over one half of the tortilla.

Step 5

Layer a handful of spinach leaves, a few slices of red onion, and some cherry tomato halves over the cheese mixture.

Step 6

Fold the tortilla in half, pressing down gently to secure the filling. Repeat with the remaining tortillas.

Step 7

Carefully place the quesadilla onto the preheated skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and the cheese has melted. Avoid overcrowding the skillet; cook in batches if necessary.

Step 8

Remove the quesadilla from the skillet and let it cool for 1-2 minutes before cutting into triangles.

Step 9

Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce, such as tzatziki or a simple garlic yogurt sauce.
