Looking for a quick and easy weeknight dinner? Try our Mediterranean Quesadillas! It’s the perfect dish for when you have leftover chicken and not a lot of time to start dinner from scratch! Another time-saving option would be using ready-made rotisserie chicken.

What’s in Mediterranean Quesadillas?

Made with all the great ingredients that say “that’s Greek to me” like feta cheese, Kalamata olives, oregano, and spinach. We used whole wheat tortillas instead of flour tortillas to keep this dish on the lighter side. Whole wheat tortillas have fewer calories and fat than flour. If you are watching your gluten intake you can also sub with corn tortillas. Pair these quesadillas with some homemade Tzatziki sauce for dipping and you are all set.
