Greek Quesadilla

My Greek week is wrapping up with this quesadilla! Although this does take a little prep work, it does come together easily.  I recommend If you are making the Tzatziki sauce you make that in advance to let the flavors set up, or you can easily buy the sauce as well! I also like using the smaller tortilla’s for a couple reasons.  I can do more than one at a time using a large pan and they also seem to hold together a little easier, but if you have the larger tortillas go for it. I might recommend using a little more cheese with the larger size so everything holds together well!

INGREDIENTS
1/2 pound ground lamb
1 Tablespoon Greek seasoning (found in the seasoning aisle)
Pinch of red pepper flake (optional)
1 cup crumbled feta cheese
2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
Handful of spinach
7-8 sun dried tomatoes, diced
12-15 large green olives, diced
1/2 cup that not sliced red onion
Tortilla’s
Butter or margarine

TZATZIKI SAUCE
1 cup plain Greek yogurt, drained
3 Tablespoons shredded cucumber
1 Tablespoon olive oil
1 Tablespoon fresh chopped dill
1 Tablespoon fresh squeezed lemon juice
Pinch of black pepper

DIRECTIONS
Starting with the Tzatziki sauce, drain yogurt. Once drained add the remaining ingredients mix well and store in fridge until ready to use. I suggest keeping in the fridge for at least one hour.
In a large fry pan over medium heat, brown the ground lamb until about half way cooked. If needed, drain fat from pan. Add Greek seasoning to the lamb and red pepper flakes, if using. Mix well and continue cooking until cooked through.
In another large fry pan over medium heat, lightly butter one side of your tortilla and place butter side down in the pan. Depending on the size of your tortilla, add desired amount of both mozzarella and feta cheese, using more mozzarella than feta. Add desired amounts of cooked lamb, olives, onions, sun dried tomatoes and spinach. I like to add a little more mozzarella to the top to help keep it together.  Add the second tortilla on top lightly buttering the top side to of the tortilla. When the bottom is golden brown flip and let the second side cook until golden brown. Do this for each tortilla. When both sides are golden, remove from pan and serve warm with Ttzatziki sauce.

Enjoy!
