Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Flour tortillas
- 2 cups Fresh spinach
- 1 cup Mushrooms, sliced
- 0.5 cup Fresh cilantro, chopped
- 1.5 cups Shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or a blend)
- 2 tablespoons Butter or olive oil
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- Optional: sour cream or salsa for serving
Instructions
Heat 1 tablespoon of butter or olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the minced garlic and sliced mushrooms to the skillet. Sauté for 3-4 minutes, or until the mushrooms are tender and release their moisture.
Add the fresh spinach to the skillet and cook for an additional 2 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the spinach wilts. Season with salt and black pepper. Remove the mixture from the skillet and set aside.
Clean the skillet or use a second one. Place it over medium heat and lightly grease it with a small amount of butter or olive oil.
Lay one tortilla flat in the skillet. Sprinkle a layer of shredded cheese (about 1/4 cup) over half of the tortilla.
Add a layer of the spinach and mushroom mixture on top of the cheese. Sprinkle a handful of chopped cilantro over the vegetable mixture, followed by an additional layer of shredded cheese (about another 1/4 cup).
Fold the tortilla in half to cover the filling and gently press down using a spatula.
Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until the tortilla is golden brown and crisp, and the cheese is fully melted.
Transfer the quesadilla to a cutting board and repeat with the remaining tortillas and filling.
Cut the quesadillas into wedges and serve warm with sour cream, salsa, or your favorite toppings.
