Spanakopita is a savory Greek pie usually made with layered filo dough. This quick version keeps the classics fillings of spinach, herbs and cheese but swaps the filo for gluten-free tortillas that get a quick griddling on the stovetop until perfectly golden and ready to enjoy.

Ingredients

  • 1 olive oil
  • 1 tsp. minced garlic
  • 6 oz. Baby Spinach, roughly chopped
  • 1 tbsp. dill, finely chopped
  • 1⁄2 cup feta cheese crumbles
  • 1⁄2 tsp. lemon zest
  • 1⁄8 tsp. salt
  • 4 gluten-free soft taco tortillas
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1⁄2 cup tzatziki sauce, or hummus, for dipping

Directions

  • Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add garlic and cook for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Stir in spinach and cook for 2-3 minutes or until wilted. Remove from heat; stir in feta, dill, lemon zest and salt.
