Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 Large flour tortillas
- 1 Red bell pepper
- 1 Yellow bell pepper
- 1 cup (sliced) Mushrooms
- 1 medium, thinly sliced Yellow onion
- 2 cups (fresh) Spinach
- 2 cups Shredded cheese blend (cheddar, Monterey Jack, or your choice)
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoons Granulated garlic (optional)
- Sour cream (optional, for serving)
- Salsa (optional, for serving)
Instructions
Prepare the vegetables: Thinly slice the red and yellow bell peppers, mushrooms, and onion. Wash and pat dry the spinach if needed.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced bell peppers, mushrooms, and onion to the pan. Sauté for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are slightly softened.
Add the spinach to the pan and cook for an additional 2 minutes, or until wilted. Season with salt, black pepper, and granulated garlic (if using). Remove the vegetable mixture from the skillet and set aside.
Wipe the skillet with a paper towel, and return it to medium heat. Add 1/2 tablespoon of butter and let it melt.
Place one tortilla in the skillet. On one half of the tortilla, sprinkle 1/2 cup of the shredded cheese blend, followed by a generous portion of the cooked vegetable mixture. Top with another 1/2 cup of shredded cheese and fold the tortilla in half to cover the filling.
Cook the quesadilla for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until the tortilla is golden brown and the cheese is melted. Use a spatula to gently press down on the quesadilla while cooking, ensuring even browning.
Repeat with the remaining tortillas, cheese, and vegetable mixture, adding more butter to the skillet as needed.
Slice each quesadilla into wedges and serve warm with sour cream and salsa on the side, if desired.
