I was looking for some Greek entertainment. I don’t know WTF is going on here.

I love foods inspired by Greek flavors.

This spin on Quesadillas is so good. Layer spinach, onion, olives, roasted peppers and sun-dried tomatoes onto tortillas. Top with a mixture of feta and mozzarella cheese then grill until the the cheese is melted. Dip into garlicky, cool tzatziki. Heaven.

Greek Quesadillas

Ingredients:

4 large (10-inch) tortillas
Olive oil
Fresh spinach leaves, chopped (about 2 cups)
Diced red onion (about ½ cup)
Roasted red peppers, chopped
Sun-dried tomatoes, chopped
Sliced black olives
Mozzarella cheese, shredded (about 1-1½ cups)
Crumbled feta cheese (about 2/3 cup)
Oregano (dried or fresh)
Red pepper flakes
Tzatziki sauce as an accompaniment, optional (recipe follows)

Directions:

1. Place tortillas on a work surface. Very lightly brush one side of each tortilla with olive oil and flip over so the oiled side is facing down.

2. Sprinkle the chopped spinach leaves over half of each tortilla, leaving a small rim around the edge. Layer in a similar fashion with red onion, roasted red pepper, tomatoes, olives, cheeses, oregano, and red pepper flakes as desired. Fold over the bare half of each tortilla, enclosing the fillings. (I like to place place a whole tortilla over the fillings and cook like that, using two spatulas to turn the quesadilla during cooking.)

3. Warm a skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat and if needed, lightly oil the cooking surface. Carefully place assembled quesadillas in the pan and cook, turning once, until each side is golden brown and the cheese is melted.

4. Slice into triangles and serve warm.
