Ingredients
  

2 cups fresh spinach leaves, washed and chopped

1 cup feta cheese, crumbled

1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

4 large flour tortillas

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 clove garlic, minced

1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)

Salt and pepper, to taste

Sour cream, for serving (optional)

Fresh salsa or diced tomatoes, for serving (optional)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Filling: In a skillet over medium heat, add the olive oil. Once heated, sauté the minced garlic until fragrant, about 30 seconds.

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

      Combine Cheeses: In a bowl, mix the wilted spinach and garlic with crumbled feta and shredded mozzarella cheese. Stir until fully combined.

        Assemble Quesadillas: Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Place one tortilla in the pan, spreading a generous amount of the spinach and cheese mixture evenly over half of the tortilla. Fold the other half over to cover the filling.

          Cook the Quesadilla: Cook for about 3-4 minutes, or until the underside is golden brown and the cheese starts to melt. Carefully flip and cook the other side for an additional 3-4 minutes.

            Repeat: Remove the cooked quesadilla to a cutting board and repeat with the remaining tortillas and filling.

              Slice and Serve: Cut each quesadilla into wedges. Serve warm with sour cream and fresh salsa on the side.
