Ingredients & Substitutions

  • Feta cheese– Feta adds a salty, tangy kick to these quesadillas. I recommend using full-fat feta cheese, which has a creamy texture.
  • Mozzarella– Shredded mozzarella melts beautifully for that perfect cheese pull.
  • Tomatoes– Chopped tomatoes add a fresh flavor. You could substitute for chopped sun dried tomatoes for a different flavor.
  • Red onion– Red onion adds a slight sharpness. You could substitute with shallots for a milder flavor.
  • Red bell pepper– This adds a slightly sweet flavor. Feel free to substitute for any color bell pepper.
  • Spinach– Baby spinach is an easy way to add some greens to this meal. You could use kale instead of spinach, just be sure to remove the stems.
  • Tortillas– I used large 10″ flour tortillas but you can use any kind you like. For additional fiber and protein, I recommend using whole wheat tortillas.

How to Make Mediterranean Quesadillas

Add the tomatoes, onion, and bell pepper and cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Add the spinach and garlic and continue to cook for two minutes until the spinach is wilted.
Place half the cheese on one half of a tortilla.
Top with the veggies and fold the tortilla over.
Cook the quesadillas in the skillet over medium, heat for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown.
Serve immediately.

How to Store and Reheat Quesadillas

Store leftover quesadillas in an airtight container in the refrigerator. They will last for 2-3 days. To maintain the crispy exterior, reheat them in a skillet over medium heat or in the oven at 350 degrees for about 3-4 minutes.
