This Beef, Spinach and Feta Quesadillas Recipe is Insanely Delicious
A Tex-Mex favorite gets a tasty Greek twist with feta, spinach and oregano
I love Tex-Mex food. And while I typically order out when a craving hits, that can be expensive. So lately, I’ve been making some of my favorites, like quesadillas, at home. While I love the more traditional quesadilla dishes, I also like to mix things up a bit and try new flavor combinations. That was the inspiration for this beef, spinach and feta quesadillas recipe. It blends Greek flavors of tangy feta and fresh spinach and flavorful oregano with ground meat (you can use ground beef or lamb) and tortillas. Yum!
It’s speedy, too — the dish goes from stove to table in just 25 minutes, and requires only 10 minutes of prep. And it tastes so good. The cheese is melty and creamy, and the spinach and oregano give the ground meat layers of fresh, savory flavor. Watch our video to see how fast and simple this recipe is to make. At just $2.03 per serving, it’s sure to become one of the stars in your dinner rotation.
