Cooking Steps
  1. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat and sauté 1 tablespoon of minced garlic for 30 seconds until fragrant.
  2. Add 2 cups of chopped fresh spinach into the skillet, stirring for 2-3 minutes until wilted, then season with salt, pepper, and 1 teaspoon of dried oregano.
  3. Lay out the whole wheat tortillas on a flat surface and spread the sautéed spinach mixture over half of each tortilla.
  4. Layer crumbled feta and shredded mozzarella cheese over the spinach, then top with thinly sliced red onion.
  5. Fold the tortillas over the filling to create a half-moon shape and gently press down to secure.
  6. In a separate skillet, heat over medium heat, lightly coat with cooking spray, and cook the quesadillas for 2-3 minutes on one side until golden brown.
  7. Flip the quesadillas and cook for another 2-3 minutes on the other side until evenly golden and cheese melts.
  8. Let the quesadillas rest for about 1 minute before slicing into wedges.
  9. Serve warm and pair with tzatziki or a fresh side salad.
