Ingredients

• 8 oz. fresh mushrooms, sliced
• 1 medium onion, thinly sliced
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 4 large flour tortillas
• 2 cups shredded cheese (such as Monterey Jack or cheddar)
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Sour cream or salsa (for serving, optional)

How to Make Mushroom Quesadillas

1. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and sauté until they become translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
2. Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet along with the garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Cook for an additional 5-7 minutes, or until the mushrooms are tender and have released their moisture. Remove the mixture from the skillet and set aside.
3. In the same skillet, add another tablespoon of olive oil. Place one tortilla in the skillet and sprinkle half of the shredded cheese evenly over the tortilla.
4. Spread half of the mushroom and onion mixture over the cheese, then top with the remaining cheese. Place a second tortilla on top and cook for about 3-4 minutes, or until the bottom tortilla is golden brown and the cheese begins to melt.
5. Carefully flip the quesadilla using a spatula and cook the other side for another 3-4 minutes until golden brown and crispy. Remove from the skillet and repeat the process with the remaining tortillas and filling.
6. Cut the quesadillas into wedges and serve warm with sour cream or salsa, if desired.
