Instructions

Mix the Filling: In a large bowl, combine the chopped spinach, diced tomato, thinly sliced red onion, shredded mozzarella, crumbled feta, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are evenly incorporated, creating a fresh and vibrant filling.
Assemble the Quesadillas: Place one flour tortilla flat on a clean surface. Spoon about one-quarter of the filling mixture onto one half of the tortilla. Fold the other half over the filling, forming a half-moon shape. Repeat with the remaining tortillas and filling.
Cook to Golden Perfection: Heat a skillet over medium heat and add a drizzle of olive oil. Place one quesadilla in the skillet and gently press it with a spatula. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes until the tortilla turns golden brown and crisp. Carefully flip and cook the other side for another 3 to 4 minutes until the cheese inside is melted and gooey.
Slice and Serve: Transfer the cooked quesadilla to a cutting board and let it rest for about a minute to allow the cheese to set slightly. Slice into wedges and serve hot, enjoying the melty, tangy, and savory flavors.

Notes

You can substitute flour tortillas with whole wheat or gluten-free tortillas if preferred.
For a spicier kick, add some chopped jalapeños or a dash of chili flakes to the filling.
The quesadillas are best served immediately for the freshest texture, but leftovers can be reheated in a skillet to crisp them up again.
Use low-fat cheese varieties to reduce fat content if desired.
