Mediterranean Quesadillas with Spinach, Feta, Mozzarella, and Red Onion

I remember the first time I made these Mediterranean Quesadillas with Spinach, Feta, Mozzarella, and Red Onion for friends. The aroma of melting cheese and onions filled the air. The dish received great feedback and became a regular meal for me.

Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 10 8 inch flour tortillas
  • 1 lb. frozen chopped spinach Thawed and drained
  • 1 small red onion Thinly sliced
  • 1/2 12 oz. jar roasted red peppers Cut into small strips
  • 1/3 9.5 oz. jar kalamata olives Roughly chopped
  • 1 handful fresh parsley Optional, roughly chopped
  • 4 oz. feta cheese Crumbled
  • 8 oz. shredded mozzarella
  • 1 tsp dried oregano

Equipment

  • Colander
  • Large bowl
  • non-stick skillet

Method
 

  1. Thaw the frozen spinach. Place it in a colander and press it against the sides to squeeze out as much moisture as possible. Place the drained spinach in a large bowl.
  2. Cut the red onion into very thin slices. Cut the roasted red pepper into small strips. Roughly chop the kalamata olives and the parsley, if using. Place all these ingredients in the bowl with the spinach.
  3. Add the oregano, crumbled feta, and shredded mozzarella to the bowl. Stir very well until everything is evenly mixed.
  4. Divide the filling among all ten tortillas. Spoon the filling onto one half of each tortilla and fold the bare half over the top. Use about 3/4 cup of filling per tortilla.
  5. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium to medium/low heat. Cook the quesadillas on each side until the outside is golden brown and crispy and the cheese inside has melted.

Notes

You can freeze these quesadillas before cooking. Warm them straight from the freezer in a skillet. When cooking from frozen, use a lower heat so the inside has time to thaw and melt before the outside browns too much.
