Spinach and Feta Quesadillas

Spinach and feta quesadillas bring me back to a day when I needed a quick yet nourishing lunch because my schedule was packed. I grabbed a handful of spinach, some crumbled feta, and tortillas, then grilled them until crisp. The result was a cheesy, flavorful wrap that kept me satisfied for hours.

Since then, this recipe has been my go-to for busy days because it’s ready in minutes and always tastes amazing. The earthy spinach pairs beautifully with tangy feta, all held together by a perfectly toasted tortilla.

Ingredients

Here’s what I use for this recipe. You can always make substitutions if you prefer!

• Tortillas – The base that holds everything together and crisps up beautifully
• Spinach – Fresh and nutrient-rich, providing a vibrant filling
• Feta cheese – Tangy and creamy, adding bold flavor
• Olive oil – For a golden, crispy finish
• Garlic – Lightly sautéed to enhance the spinach
• Black pepper – Adds a touch of seasoning to balance flavors
• Tools You’ll Need
• Skillet or grill pan – To cook the quesadillas to perfection
• Spatula – For flipping without tearing
• Knife – To cut into wedges before serving
• Mixing bowl – To toss the spinach with seasonings
• Plate – For assembling the quesadillas easily

Instructions

Step 1

I start by heating a drizzle of olive oil in a skillet, then sauté garlic until fragrant before adding the spinach to wilt.

Step 2

I remove the spinach from heat and let any excess moisture drain.

Step 3

I place a tortilla on a plate, spread the cooked spinach evenly, and sprinkle with crumbled feta.

Step 4

I fold the tortilla in half or place another tortilla on top, depending on the style I want.

Step 5

I grill the quesadilla on a skillet over medium heat until golden brown on both sides, pressing gently for crispiness.

Step 6

I transfer to a cutting board, slice into wedges, and serve hot.

Tips

I sometimes add sun-dried tomatoes or a sprinkle of mozzarella for extra richness. You can also make them spicier by adding a dash of chili flakes to the spinach. Serve with tzatziki or salsa for dipping!

Ways to Serve

These quesadillas are perfect for a light lunch, quick dinner, or even a party snack. Pair them with a fresh salad or a cup of soup for a complete meal.
