This Mediterranean feta quesadilla recipe is super delicious and you can prepare it in 10 minutes using herbs, feta, avocado and tomato for the filling! The first time I made it, the sun had already gone down and I had it with my simple everyday salad and it was the perfect easy dinner. You can make it for lunch too, of course.
Update: I originally shared the recipe on March 17th 2020 (what a wonderful time it was back then, right?!), and I had filled with quesadilla with salami and feta cheese, but found it was a bit too salty, so today I’m sharing the new and improved feta cheese quesadilla recipe – vegetarian and with a ton of flavor.
Mediterranean Feta Quesadilla
If you love feta cheese, I’m pretty sure you’ll absolutely love this amazing feta cheese quesadilla recipe. And if you’re like me, it will solve 3 huge problems for you: 1/ using up feta cheese, 2/ using up any leftover fresh herbs you have at home and 3/ making dinner in 10 minutes.
This recipe is absolutely delicious, and listen, I used 3 cloves of garlic, because it’s 2020 and everyone’s wearing masks anyway, but you can use less if you want. (and still doing it in 2026, the garlic, not the masks).
Feta Cheese Quesadilla Ingredients
- feta cheese
- avocado (if you don’t have avocado, it will also work, so don’t let that stop you!)
- greens – I used a mix of what I had in the garden arugula, mint and basil, but you can also use other herbs you have at home. Cilantro, dill, spinach – they will all be good for this quick recipe.
- small tomato
- black pepper
- garlic
- tortillas – feel free to use healthier tortillas if you have a healthy go-to brand.
