Today we’re making a Mediterranean quesadilla recipe with spinach, olives and feta! I like to call it my BIG, FAT GREEK QUESADILLA!
In June, we had the pleasure of spending a week on the beautiful island of Corfu. We love the simple flavors of Greek cuisine, and this Mediterranean quesadilla has all the flavors of a Greek Salad in a convenient easy-to-eat snack!
I’m making this spinach and feta quesadilla on my Camp Chef portable grill for a camping trip, but you can easily make this at home on an indoor griddle or large frying pan.
Mediterranean Quesadilla Ingredients
- Chopped spinach leaves
- Pitted and chopped Greek olives
- Finely diced red onion
- Diced sweet grape tomatoes
- Shredded feta cheese
- Shredded mozzarella cheese
- Minced Greek oregano
- Greek olive oil for drizzling (optional)
- Canola oil or butter (for frying the quesadillas)
- Flour tortillas
For camping purposes, you’ll want to prepare the ingredients beforehand, and then store them in a plastic container or Ziplock bag so everything’s ready to go when you get to the campsite. If you’re making this at home, just mix in the bowl and prepare your frying pan.
For this feta quesadilla recipe, I’m adding shredded mozzarella cheese to give it that nice gooey and cheesy texture. However, you can also make this with goat cheese if you’re not a fan of feta!
Make sure to cook the quesadillas over medium-low heat until the cheese is melted and the tortillas get a nice golden brown. It’s helpful to have a melting dome, which ensures even heating outdoors.
In the video at the end of this post, I show you exactly how to set up your flat top grill for making quesadillas.
To make a Mediterranean breakfast quesadilla, all you need to do is scramble up some eggs and place them on top of the filling, then fold and grill on both sides. Easy peasy!
These Greek quesadillas are such a wonderful variation on the traditional Mexican quesadilla. If you try these Mediterranean quesadillas, please let me know how they turned out in the comments below!
