Method
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat until shimmering and warm.
- Add the sliced red onion and sauté for about 3 minutes until it softens and begins to turn translucent.
- Add the chopped spinach to the skillet, sprinkle with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and oregano, and cook until the spinach wilts and aromas rise, about 2–3 minutes.
- Remove the sautéed spinach and onion mixture to a bowl, then stir in lemon juice to brighten the flavor.
- Wipe the skillet clean with a paper towel and return it to medium heat.
- Lay one tortilla flat in the skillet and sprinkle a generous layer of shredded mozzarella across one half of the tortilla.
- Add half of the sautéed spinach mixture evenly on top of the mozzarella layer.
- Scatter the crumbled feta over the spinach, and add olives if using them.
- Sprinkle a bit more mozzarella on top to help bind the filling.
- Fold the tortilla over so it forms a semicircle enclosing the filling.
- Cook the quesadilla for 2–3 minutes on the first side until the bottom is golden brown and crisp.
- Carefully flip the quesadilla with a spatula and cook the other side until it matches in color and the cheeses inside are melted.
- Transfer the finished quesadilla to a cutting board and let it rest for a minute before slicing.
- Repeat the process with remaining tortillas and filling ingredients.
- Cut each quesadilla into wedges using a sharp knife or pizza cutter and serve while hot.
