Method

  1. To prepare the sauce: Combine Greek yogurt, cucumber, dill, and lemon juice in a medium-sized bowl. Add salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes to taste.

  2. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Place one half of a pita bread, cut-side up, in the skillet. Layer with mozzarella cheese, chicken, feta, red peppers, olives, and dill. Top with the other half of the pita bread, cut-side down.

  3. Cook for about 2 minutes, until the cheese is melted and the bottom pita is golden. Carefully flip the quesadilla and continue cooking for another 2 minutes, until the second side is golden.

  4. Repeat the process with the remaining ingredients. Cut the quesadillas into wedges and serve warm with Tzatziki sauce.
