Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Begin by heating 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add 2 minced garlic cloves and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
  2. Add 4 cups of chopped fresh spinach to the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes until wilted. Season with salt, pepper, and 1 teaspoon dried oregano. Set aside.
  3. Lay 4 whole wheat tortillas on a flat surface. Spoon spinach mixture onto one half of each tortilla, followed by feta cheese, mozzarella, and red onion slices.
  4. Carefully fold each tortilla over to create a half-moon shape and gently press to seal.
  5. In the same skillet, heat over medium heat and lightly coat with cooking spray or olive oil.
  6. Place the quesadillas in the skillet. Cook for 2-3 minutes on one side until golden brown, then flip and cook for another 2-3 minutes.
  7. Once browned, remove from skillet and let cool for about a minute before slicing into wedges.
  8. Serve warm with tzatziki sauce or a fresh salad for added flavor.
