# What You'll Need:

→ Vegetables

01 - 3 cups fresh spinach, roughly chopped
02 - 1 small red onion, thinly sliced
03 - 2 cloves garlic, minced

→ Cheeses

04 - 3/4 cup feta cheese, crumbled

# How-To Steps:

01 - Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
02 - Add chopped spinach to the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes until wilted. Season with salt, pepper, oregano, and red pepper flakes. Remove from heat.
03 - Lay tortillas on a flat surface. On one half of each tortilla, evenly spread sautéed spinach mixture. Top with crumbled feta, shredded mozzarella, and sliced red onions.
04 - Fold each tortilla in half to create a half-moon shape, pressing gently to seal the filling inside.
