Delicious and healthy, my Greek Quesadillas come together quickly and only have six ingredients! It's a tasty twist on the traditional quesadilla that everyone will love.
We all have those days when we don't want to make dinner. Those days when slaving in the kitchen seems like a nightmare and all you want to do is curl up on the couch with a nice glass of wine.
I recently had one of those days, and ended up coming up with this recipe for Greek Quesadillas. Mainly due to the fact that all the ingredients happened to be in my fridge. But either way, this recipe takes little prep and can be ready in just minutes.
If you love Greek food, then this is the perfect dinner answer you didn't even know you needed. Hummus, check! Artichoke hearts, check! Feta, check! There is nothing better than these quintessential Greek ingredients layered inside a tortilla and cooked to perfection.
WHAT INGREDIENTS DO I NEED?
- tortillas (your favorite kind)
- 6oz jar of artichoke hearts
- 1 cup baby spinach
- ½ red bell pepper
- 1 cup hummus (homemade or store bought)
- desired amount of feta
HOW DO I MAKE GREEK QUESADILLAS?
Finely chop 6 oz of artichoke hearts, 1 cup of baby spinach, and ½ of a red bell pepper. In a large skillet, saute the chopped vegetables in 1 tablespoon of olive oil until slightly tender.
Once your veggies are finished, you can start to build the quesadillas. Lay out your preferred type of tortilla, spread a small amount of hummus on one side (A store bought version is fine or you can try my Easy Hummus Recipe).
Next, add a small amount of the sautéed vegetables and top with feta cheese. Layer with another tortilla place on a large skillet or griddle. Cook for approximately 2-4 minutes on each side, or until your tortilla starts to brown. Remove from griddle and let cool. (You should be able to make about 3-4 quesadillas, depending on how large your tortillas are and how much you stuff each of them).
WHAT DO YOU SERVE WITH GREEK QUESADILLAS?
I often make a Greek yogurt dip to serve along side of the quesadillas. It is cool, fresh, and the perfect addition to this meal. In a small bowl, combine 1 cup of Greek yogurt, ¼ cup of fresh parsley, 1 tablespoon of lemon juice and a dash of salt/pepper. Stir well and enjoy!
