Ingredients

  • 4 medium flour tortillas
  • 2 cups fresh spinach
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/2 small red onion, thinly sliced
  • 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1 clove garlic, minced (optional)
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add sliced red onion and sauté until softened.
  2. Add spinach and optional garlic. Cook until just wilted. Season with salt and pepper. Remove from skillet and set aside.
  3. Place a tortilla in the same skillet. On half of the tortilla, layer mozzarella, feta, and the spinach-onion mixture.
  4. Fold the tortilla in half and cook until golden brown on the bottom, then flip and cook the other side until crisp and cheese is melted.
  5. Repeat with remaining tortillas and filling.
  6. Let cool slightly, slice into wedges, and serve warm.

Notes

  • Add olives, sun-dried tomatoes, or roasted red peppers for extra flavor.
  • Use whole wheat or gluten-free tortillas as needed.
  • For a spicier version, add red pepper flakes to the filling.
  • Grilled chicken or chickpeas can be added for more protein.
  • Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 2 days; reheat in a skillet for best texture.
