Ingredients
  

2 cups fresh spinach, chopped

1 cup feta cheese, crumbled

1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

½ cup diced onion

2 cloves garlic, minced

4 large flour tortillas

2 tablespoons olive oil

Salt and pepper to taste

Optional: red pepper flakes for some heat

Instructions
 

Sauté the Vegetables: In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and minced garlic. Sauté until they become fragrant and the onion is translucent, about 3 minutes.

    Add Spinach: Stir in the chopped spinach and cook until wilted, about 2-3 minutes. Season with salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes if desired. Remove the skillet from the heat and let the mixture cool slightly.

      Prepare the Quesadillas: In a mixing bowl, combine the sautéed spinach mixture with the crumbled feta and shredded mozzarella. Stir well to combine.

        Assemble the Quesadillas: Take one flour tortilla and spread a quarter of the spinach and cheese mixture on one half of the tortilla. Fold the other half over to create a half-moon shape. Repeat with the remaining tortillas.

          Cook the Quesadillas: In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil. Heat over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the quesadilla and cook until golden brown and crispy, about 2-3 minutes per side. Use a spatula to carefully flip.

            Serve: Remove the quesadillas from the skillet and let them cool for a minute before cutting them into wedges. Serve warm with salsa, sour cream, or avocado on the side.
