Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 2 cups Button mushrooms (sliced)
- 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro (chopped)
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 4 Large flour tortillas
- 2 cups Shredded Mexican cheese blend
- 0.5 cup Sour cream
- 0.5 cup Salsa
Instructions
Heat 1 tablespoon of butter and 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet and sauté for 5-6 minutes until the mushrooms soften and release their moisture.
Add the minced garlic to the mushrooms and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until the garlic becomes fragrant.
Stir in the chopped cilantro, salt, and black pepper. Remove the mixture from the heat and set aside.
Heat another large skillet or griddle over medium heat.
Spread ½ tablespoon of butter on one side of a tortilla and place it buttered-side down in the skillet.
Sprinkle ½ cup of shredded cheese evenly across the tortilla, followed by a quarter of the mushroom mixture.
Top with another ½ cup of shredded cheese and place another tortilla on top. Spread ½ tablespoon of butter on the top tortilla.
Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until the cheese is melted and the tortillas are golden brown and crispy. Repeat with the remaining tortillas and filling.
Cut each quesadilla into wedges using a sharp knife or pizza cutter.
Serve warm with sour cream and salsa on the side for dipping.
