Before You Start
Grab a large skillet and have all your fillings prepped — once the pan is hot, these cook quickly.
Ingredients
- Flour tortillas
- Fresh spinach (roughly chopped)
- Crumbled feta cheese
- Shredded mozzarella or provolone
- Sun-dried tomatoes (chopped)
- Kalamata olives (optional, sliced)
- Olive oil
- Dried oregano
- Garlic powder
Instructions
- Heat the pan
Warm a large skillet over medium heat and brush lightly with olive oil. You want the pan hot but not smoking. - Build the quesadilla
Lay one tortilla flat in the skillet. Sprinkle an even layer of shredded cheese first — this helps everything stick together. - Add the fillings
Top with spinach, feta, sun-dried tomatoes, and olives if using. Sprinkle lightly with oregano and garlic powder. - Finish and fold
Add a little more shredded cheese, then fold the tortilla in half. Press gently with a spatula. - Cook until golden
Cook 2–3 minutes per side, until the tortilla is golden brown and the cheese is fully melted. You should hear a light sizzle and see crisp edges. - Slice and serve
Remove from the pan, rest for 1 minute, then slice into wedges.
Repeat with remaining tortillas.
Why This Works for Busy Nights

Storage & Reheat

FAQ
Can I make these ahead?
You can prep the fillings ahead, but cook fresh for best texture.
Are corn tortillas okay?
Flour tortillas hold fillings better, but corn works if warmed first.
What dipping sauce goes best?
Tzatziki, plain Greek yogurt, or a simple garlic sauce all work great.
