Description
Delicious mushroom quesadillas filled with sautéed mushrooms, cheese, and vegetables.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1–2 tablespoons olive oil (or other cooking oil)
- 6 ounces mushrooms (medium sliced, ¼ inch thick)
- 1 teaspoon minced garlic (about 2 cloves, or serve with garlic confit)
- ¼ cup chopped vegetables of choice (bell peppers, deseeded jalapeños for spice, onions or shallots)
- 4 flour or corn tortillas (whole wheat tortillas recommended)
- 1 ½ cups shredded cheese
- Garlic salt or salt to taste
- Guacamole
- Salsa: Black Bean and Corn Salsa or sweet Pineapple Salsa
- Garlic confit for garlic lovers!
- Chopped shallots
Instructions
- Set a medium skillet over medium high heat. Coat with olive oil. Add sliced mushrooms, garlic, and vegetables. Sauté until mushrooms are browned and vegetables are tender, about 2-3 minutes.
- Transfer this mushroom mixture to a plate. Using a paper towel, carefully wipe down the skillet.
- Coat the skillet with oil and set over medium high heat. Place a tortilla onto the skillet and sprinkle with ¼ cup of the cheese and ½ the mushroom mixture. Sprinkle with salt to taste.
- Heat until the cheese starts melting, then place another tortilla on top. Press down until the top tortilla sticks to the cheese. Brush or drizzle the un-crisped tortilla with oil, then flip to crisp the other side.
- Press down with a heatproof spatula to ensure even cooking. Cook until evenly golden, flipping multiple times for extra crispiness. Repeat for the next quesadilla.
- Slice each quesadilla into 6-8 pieces and serve with Baked Tortilla Chips, guacamole, and salsa.
Notes
- For extra flavor, consider using garlic confit.
- You can modify the vegetables based on your preference.
