Equipment
- - Non-stick skillet
Ingredients
Filling
- 1 cup Shredded Mozzarella Cheese Substitute with vegan cheese for a dairy-free option.
- 1/2 cup Crumbled Feta Cheese Try using tofu or dairy-free feta for a vegan alternative.
- 2 cups Fresh Spinach Can be replaced with kale or Swiss chard if desired.
- 1 medium Diced Tomato Swap for cherry tomatoes or roasted red peppers for a twist.
- 1/4 medium Red Onion (thinly sliced) Shallots or green onions can provide a milder taste if preferred.
- 1 teaspoon Black Pepper Consider other spices like paprika or Italian seasoning for variation.
For Cooking
- 2 tablespoons Olive Oil Can be substituted with avocado oil or cooking spray for lighter cooking.
Instructions
Preparation
- In a mixing bowl, combine shredded mozzarella, crumbled feta, fresh spinach, diced tomato, sliced red onion, and black pepper. Stir together until well blended.
- Place a tortilla on a clean surface. Add one-fourth of the filling mixture to one half of the tortilla. Fold the other half over gently, creating a half-moon shape.
- Warm olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the folded quesadilla. Cook for 3-4 minutes, pressing gently to encourage the cheeses to melt and the tortilla to crisp.
- Carefully flip the quesadilla and cook for another 3-4 minutes until both sides are golden brown and crispy.
- Remove from the heat and let it cool slightly. Slice into wedges and serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce or a refreshing salad.
Notes
Optional: Garnish with fresh herbs like basil or parsley for added freshness.
