Delishous!!! I work at a authentic Greek Restaurant and have worked there for nearly 3 years. I eat Greek food quite often and am used to the unique tastes. I found this to be quite excellent. I found that the tortillas became a little flakey when I fried them in olive oil. This reminded me of the filo dough Greeks often use in recipes. This was very yummy!!! Thanks for sharing!

This was our main dish and a nice change to quesadilla's I have made before. It all worked very well and I loved the cumin flavor in it. I might have used a bit more cheese then stated but I usualy do that. I did double the nutmeg since that always goes very well with spinach and cheese. I made the filling in the morning, so putting it together was quick and easy. I seved it with tzaziki to wich I added finely chopped tomatoes..you could call it a Greek Salsa..? A very good meatless meal and a keeper!
