Greek Quesadilla
4 servings
50 minutes
Greek quesadilla is an amazing blend of Mexican and Mediterranean cuisine. Inspired by Greek flavors, this quesadilla combines salty olives, fresh spinach, sweet bell peppers, and two types of cheese—creamy mozzarella and tangy feta. The light heat of red pepper flakes and the aroma of oregano make the taste rich and expressive. The crispy tortilla adds textural harmony to the dish, while the melted cheese binds all the ingredients together. It cooks quickly and is perfect for a light snack or a hearty dinner. It can be served with fresh vegetables or a light yogurt sauce to enhance the Greek character of the dish. This quesadilla is a celebration of flavor that unites two culinary worlds in one appetizing treat.
