How to Store Mediterranean Quesadillas with Spinach, Feta, Mozzarella, and Red Onion

If you somehow have leftovers (which I doubt!), these quesadillas are good in the fridge for about 3 days. Just pop them in an airtight container.

Tips to Make Mediterranean Quesadillas with Spinach, Feta, Mozzarella, and Red Onion

• Timing is Key: Keep an eye on that skillet. Cooking too long can burn the tortilla, while too short can leave it soggy. Aim for golden perfection!
• Ingredient Swaps: Don’t have feta? Swap it for goat cheese or ricotta for a creamier texture.
• Add Protein: Toss in some cooked chicken or beans for a heartier meal. Who doesn’t love bonus protein?

Variation

Want to shake things up? Try making it vegan by using dairy-free cheese and omitting the feta. Add roasted veggies like zucchini or bell peppers for a twist!
