Ingredients

• 8 ounces fresh mushrooms, sliced (such as cremini or button)
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 teaspoon garlic, minced
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• 4 large flour tortillas
• 2 cups shredded cheese (such as Monterey Jack or cheddar)
• 2 green onions, sliced
• Sour cream, for serving (optional)
• Fresh cilantro, for garnish (optional)

How to Make Mushroom Quesadillas

1. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced mushrooms and sauté for about 5 minutes, until they are tender and golden brown.
2. Add the minced garlic, salt, and black pepper to the skillet. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Remove from heat and set aside.
3. In another skillet or griddle, place one tortilla over medium heat. Sprinkle half of the shredded cheese evenly over one half of the tortilla.
4. Add a portion of the sautéed mushrooms and a sprinkle of green onions over the cheese.
5. Fold the tortilla in half to cover the filling. Cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until the tortilla is golden and the cheese is melted.
6. Repeat the process with the remaining tortillas and filling ingredients.
7. Once cooked, slice the quesadillas into wedges and serve hot with sour cream and cilantro, if desired.

Tips for the Best Results

• For extra flavor, try adding spices like cumin or chili powder to the mushrooms while sautéing.
• Use a non-stick skillet to prevent sticking and make flipping easier.
• Keep the heat moderate to avoid burning the tortillas while ensuring the cheese melts thoroughly.
• Feel free to experiment with different types of cheese for varied flavors.

Easy Variations

• Add cooked chicken or black beans for extra protein.
• Incorporate bell peppers or spinach for added vegetables.
• Swap out the cheese for a dairy-free alternative for a vegan option.
• Use corn tortillas for a gluten-free version.

What to Serve With It

• A fresh green salad with a light vinaigrette.
• Guacamole for a creamy dip.
• Salsa or pico de gallo for a refreshing accompaniment.
• A side of Mexican rice for a more filling meal.

Leftover quesadillas can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place them in a skillet over medium heat for a few minutes on each side until warmed through. Alternatively, you can microwave them for about 30-60 seconds, but this may make the tortillas a bit soggy.
