Ingredients
  

For the quesadilla filling
  • 1 cup fresh spinach, chopped (packed) Use about 3/4 cup packed baby spinach leaves or 1/4 cup thawed, well-drained frozen spinach if fresh isn't available.
  • 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese Freshly shredded melts best.
  • 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese For lower sodium, choose reduced-sodium feta or rinse regular feta briefly and pat dry.
  • 1 small tomato, diced Seed if you want less moisture.
  • 1/4 cup red onion, thinly sliced
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • to taste Black pepper
For assembly
  • 4 pieces flour tortillas You can use whole-wheat or spinach tortillas for more fiber.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a bowl, mix shredded mozzarella, crumbled feta, chopped spinach, diced tomato, thinly sliced red onion, and a pinch of black pepper to combine the filling.
Assembly
  1. Lay one tortilla flat. Spoon one-quarter of the filling onto half of the tortilla, spreading it evenly but leaving a small border. Fold the empty half over to make a half-moon. Repeat with the remaining tortillas.
Cooking
  1. Warm a nonstick skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil. Tilt the pan so the oil coats the surface in a thin layer.
  2. Place a filled tortilla in the skillet. Cook undisturbed for 3 to 4 minutes, until the bottom is golden and crisp, and the cheese begins to melt.
  3. Carefully flip the quesadilla using a spatula and cook the other side for another 3 to 4 minutes until golden and the cheeses are fully melted.
Serving
  1. Transfer the quesadilla to a cutting board and let rest for 1 minute. Slice into wedges and serve warm.
