Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 pieces of wheat tortillas (about 25 cm in diameter)
  • 200 g fresh spinach leaves
  • 150 g feta cheese (crumbled)
  • 100 g grated Gouda or Cheddar cheese
  • 1 small red onion (finely diced)
  • 1 clove garlic (pressed)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 0.5 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 0.5 piece of lemon (fresh juice)
  • 100 g canned corn (drained, optional)

Instructions

  1. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large pan over medium heat. When the oil is hot, add the diced red onion and the pressed garlic clove. Sauté for 2 minutes until the onion becomes translucent and the garlic is aromatic.
  2. Now add the fresh spinach to the pan in portions. Allow it to wilt while stirring, which takes about 2-3 minutes. Make sure not to overcook the spinach so it retains its fresh green color.
  3. Season the spinach mixture with salt, pepper, and 0.5 teaspoon of smoked paprika. Stir everything well and let it cook for about 1 minute to allow the spices to release their flavors.
  4. Remove the pan from heat and let the mixture cool slightly. Add the fresh lemon juice and mix everything well.
  5. Place one tortilla in a clean pan and sprinkle a thin layer of grated Gouda on top. This prevents the tortilla from sticking to the bottom of the pan.
  6. Evenly distribute a portion of the spinach mixture over the tortilla. Sprinkle the drained corn (optional) and crumbled feta on top. For extra cheesy goodness, you can sprinkle some more Gouda on top.
  7. Place a second tortilla over the filling and press it down lightly. Cook the quesadilla over medium heat for about 3-4 minutes until the bottom is golden brown. Be careful not to cook it too long to avoid burning.
  8. Gently flip the quesadilla with a spatula and cook the other side for another 3-4 minutes until golden brown.
  9. Remove the quesadilla from the pan and let it rest briefly. Then cut it into quarters and serve hot with fresh salsa, guacamole, or a dollop of yogurt.

Nutrition

Keywords: Avoid overfilling the quesadillas to prevent tearing. Use a non-stick pan for even browning and to prevent sticking. Feel free to adjust the spinach-to-cheese ratio to suit your taste.
