Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a medium bowl, combine diced large tomato, chopped red onion, fresh spinach, crumbled feta cheese, shredded mozzarella, and a sprinkle of dried oregano. Gently pat the spinach with a paper towel to remove excess moisture, ensuring the filling is not soggy. Mix until well combined, and set aside as you prepare your tortillas.
  2. Lay out your flour tortillas on a clean surface. Divide the filling evenly, placing approximately 1/3 cup of the cheesy Mediterranean mixture on one half of each tortilla. Fold each tortilla over the filling, creating a half-moon shape.
  3. Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium heat for about 2 minutes. Lightly oil the skillet with olive oil.
  4. Carefully place the folded quesadillas in the hot skillet. Cook for 3-4 minutes until the bottoms are golden brown and crisp.
  5. Once golden, use a spatula to carefully flip each quesadilla over. Continue cooking for another 3-4 minutes until they are crispy and the cheese is fully melted.
  6. Let the quesadillas rest for about 1 minute on a cutting board before slicing into halves or triangles.
