Ingredients

For the quesadilla

• 4 large flour tortillas
• 1 cup of crumbled feta cheese
• 1 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese
• 1 cup of spinach (fresh or cooked)
• 1/2 cup of sun-dried tomatoes, chopped
• 1/2 cup of black olives, sliced
• 1/4 cup of chopped red onion
• 1 teaspoon of dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon of olive oil
• Salt and pepper to taste

For the tzatziki dip

• 1 cup of plain Greek yogurt
• 1/2 cucumber, grated and drained
• 1 garlic clove, minced
• 1 tablespoon of fresh dill (or 1 teaspoon of dried dill)
• 1 teaspoon of lemon juice
• Salt to taste

Instructions

For the quesadillas

1. In a mixing bowl, combine the feta, mozzarella, spinach, sun-dried tomatoes, black olives, red onion, oregano, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Mix well.

🥄 Make sure to taste the mixture before seasoning too much; feta can be quite salty!

2. Heat a large skillet over medium heat and lightly grease with olive oil.

3. Place a tortilla in the skillet and spread a generous portion of the cheese and vegetable mixture on one half. Fold the tortilla over to create a half-moon shape.

4. Cook until the tortilla is golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes on each side, flipping carefully.

5. Repeat with the remaining tortillas and filling.

For the tzatziki dip

1. In a bowl, mix the Greek yogurt, grated cucumber, minced garlic, dill, lemon juice, and salt.

2. Stir until well combined and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to let the flavors meld.

🥒 You can adjust the garlic and dill according to your taste preference—more garlic for a kick, or more dill for a refreshing twist!
