Ingredients
  

2 cups fresh spinach, roughly 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 and salsa, for serving (optional)

Instructions
 

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

    Cook the Spinach: Add the chopped spinach to the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes until wilted. Season with salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using). Remove from heat and let cool slightly.

      Combine with Cheese: In a bowl, mix the wilted spinach with feta and mozzarella cheese until well combined.

        Assemble the Quesadilla: Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Place one tortilla in the skillet, and evenly spread one-fourth of the spinach and cheese mixture on one half of the tortilla. Fold the other half over to create a semi-circle.

          Cook the Quesadilla: Cook for about 3-4 minutes on one side until golden brown and crisp. Carefully flip and cook for another 3-4 minutes on the other side. Remove from heat and repeat with the remaining tortillas and filling.

            Serve: Cut each quesadilla into wedges and serve warm with sour cream and salsa on the side, if desired.
