# Guide to Cooking:
01 -
In a large mixing bowl, combine feta, mozzarella, sun-dried tomatoes, black olives, roasted red peppers, red onion, and basil. Stir until ingredients are evenly incorporated.
02 -
Add olive oil, red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper to the mixture. Mix thoroughly to distribute the spices evenly.
03 -
Place the flour tortillas flat on a work surface. Spread one-quarter of the filling onto one half of each tortilla, then fold over to create a semicircle.
04 -
Heat a grill pan over medium heat and lightly coat it with non-stick spray or olive oil to prevent sticking.
05 -
Place the filled tortillas onto the pan. Grill for 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown and the cheese is fully melted.
06 -
Remove from heat and allow to cool for 5 minutes. Cut each into wedges and serve warm. Optionally garnish with fresh basil or tzatziki sauce.
# Extra Suggestions:
01 -
Allow quesadillas to rest briefly after grilling to let the cheese firm slightly, enhancing slicing and serving.
