Directions
-
Drain thawed spinach
Place the thawed spinach in a clean, lint-free dish towel or cheesecloth and squeeze over the sink getting the spinach as dry as possible. Place in a clean bowl and set aside.
-
Sauté garlic and onions
Place 2 tablespoons of oil in a large pan over medium heat and sauté the onion and garlic until translucent, about 5 minutes.
-
Add spinach to pan
Add the spinach, stirring to combine, and cook to warm the spinach for roughly 3 minutes.
-
Season and take off the heat
Season with salt and pepper, then stir and transfer it to a bowl.
-
Clean and re-oil pan
Safely wipe your pan clean using a paper towel. Then, lightly coat the bottom of the pan with a little more oil.
-
Prepare tortilla
Place the tortilla into the pan, and spread 2 tablespoons of marinara sauce over half the tortilla.
-
Cover with toppings
Top with ¼ cup of mozzarella cheese, a quarter of the spinach mixture, and 2 tablespoons of crumbled feta cheese.
-
Fold over tortilla
Fold the uncovered half over the sauce side and press down gently with the back of a spatula.
-
Cook for a few minutes
Cook until golden brown and crisp underneath, about 3–5 minutes.
-
Flip quesadilla
Carefully flip the quesadilla over. Cook until the mozzarella melted and the second side is crisp.
-
Repeat the process and serve
Remove to a wire rack and repeat to make three more. Slice into 4 triangles and serve with extra marinara on the side for dipping.
