Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once shimmering, add 1 clove of minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
  2. Add 1 cup of roughly chopped fresh spinach to the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes until wilted. Season with salt, pepper, 1 teaspoon of dried oregano, and optional red pepper flakes.
  3. On a flat surface, lay out whole wheat tortillas and evenly distribute the spinach mixture on half of each tortilla.
  4. Top with 1/2 cup of crumbled feta cheese, 1 cup of shredded mozzarella, and 1/4 cup of thinly sliced red onions.
  5. Fold each tortilla over to create a half-moon shape and gently press to seal.
  6. Return the skillet to medium heat, lightly coat it, and ensure it's hot.
  7. Place the folded quesadillas in the skillet. Cook for 2-3 minutes until golden brown, then flip and cook for another 2-3 minutes until the cheese is melted.
  8. Remove quesadillas from the skillet and let them rest for 1 minute on a cutting board.
  9. Slice the quesadillas into wedges and serve warm with tzatziki or salad.
