Ingredients
  

For the Quesadillas
  • 4 large flour tortillas Use whole wheat for a healthier option.
  • 1 cup fresh spinach Rinsed and roughly chopped.
  • 1/2 cup feta cheese Crumbled.
  • 1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes Chopped, preferably in oil for extra flavor.
  • 1/4 cup black olives Pitted and sliced.
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano For seasoning.
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil For cooking.
For the Dipping Sauce
  • 1/2 cup Greek yogurt Plain, for a creamy texture.
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice Freshly squeezed for brightness.
  • 1 clove garlic Minced.
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried dill For flavor.

Method
 

Prepare the Dipping Sauce
  1. In a mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, lemon juice, minced garlic, and dried dill. Stir until well mixed. This sauce adds creaminess and a tangy flavor that complements the quesadillas.
Assemble the Quesadillas
  1. Lay one flour tortilla flat on a clean cutting board. Sprinkle 1/4 cup of crumbled feta cheese evenly over half of the tortilla.
  2. Top the feta with 1/4 cup of chopped sun-dried tomatoes, 1/4 cup of sliced black olives, and 1/4 cup of chopped spinach.
  3. Sprinkle 1/4 teaspoon of dried oregano over the filling for added flavor.
  4. Fold the tortilla in half to cover the filling, pressing down gently to seal.
Cook the Quesadillas
  1. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, carefully place the folded quesadilla in the skillet.
  2. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on one side until golden brown and crispy. Use a spatula to check the bottom to prevent burning.
  3. Flip the quesadilla carefully and cook for another 3-4 minutes on the other side until it is also golden brown and the cheese has melted.
  4. Remove the quesadilla from the skillet and let it cool for a minute before slicing into wedges.
Serve
  1. Serve the quesadilla wedges warm alongside the prepared dipping sauce. Enjoy the combination of Mediterranean flavors in a fun, handheld format!
