Love spanakopita (the spinach and feta Greek appetizer) but hate dealing with phyllo dough? Then this tortilla-based version is for you. Much easier and super delicious, these tasty triangles are a wonderful appetizer for big game days or party starters. Substitute tzatziki for the marinara for a Mediterranean twist or offer both so guests can choose.

  1. Heat oil in large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add scallions and garlic and cook, stirring often, until scallions are tender, about 1 minute.
