Let’s get cooking! Here’s how you can bring these flavors to life:

1. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute.
2. Add the fresh spinach to the skillet and cook until wilted, stirring occasionally. This should take about 3-4 minutes. Season with black pepper and red pepper flakes if using.
3. Remove the skillet from the heat and allow the spinach to cool slightly. Then, mix in the crumbled feta cheese.
4. Lay out the tortillas on a flat surface. Evenly distribute the spinach and feta mixture onto one half of each tortilla, then sprinkle with shredded mozzarella cheese.
5. Fold the tortillas in half, pressing gently to seal them.
6. In a clean skillet, cook each quesadilla over medium heat for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until the tortillas are golden brown and the cheese has melted.
7. Once cooked, transfer the quesadillas to a cutting board and let them cool for a minute before slicing into wedges.

This recipe is not just a meal; it’s an experience, reminiscent of those cherished moments in my grandmother’s kitchen, where the simple act of cooking became a language of love.
