Greek Spinach & Feta Quesadillas By The Greek Glutton

Here, Ekaterina via The Greek Glutton shares her love of Greek food, with a bit of Mexican in the mix.

I am a HUGE fan of feta.  I simply cannot have a meal without it.  Add a touch of spinach into the mix and you will have me eating out of your hand, or plate.  So you can guess how much I salivated after seeing my friend Natalia's recipe for Greek Spinach & Feta Quesadillas over at her blog The Greek Glutton.   The recipe just had to be shared.

Speaking of healither meal alternatives, I made these Greek Spinach & Feta Quesadillas with Tzatziki Sauce and I have to say, they're a much better choice than regular quesadillas with melted cheese and sour cream and other fatty/not so healthy ingredients.  And even though they might not be quite as mouth-watering and indugent as regular quesadillas, they still feel like a treat!  Almost like having your cake and eating it, although not literally. 

They're easy to make and they make it easy to get vegetables into your diet.  Spinach has many health benefits: for your eyes, bones and actually helps your digestion.  What's more is that cooked spinach actually delivers more than three times the nutrients of raw soinach because your body cannot fully break down and absorb nutrients in raw spinach.  If you live in a cold and dry climate, eating spinach is really good for relieving dry and itchy skin.
