Mouthwatering Mushroom and Spinach Quesadillas Recipe
Ingredients
- 2 cups fresh spinach, chopped
- 1 cup mushrooms, sliced (such as cremini or button)
- 1 small onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or a Mexican blend)
- 4 large flour tortillas
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon cumin powder
- to taste salt and pepper
- optional salsa and sour cream for serving
Instructions
- In a skillet over medium heat, add 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Once hot, sauté the diced onion until translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
- Add the minced garlic and sliced mushrooms to the skillet. Cook for another 5-7 minutes until the mushrooms release their moisture and start to brown.
- Stir in the chopped spinach and cumin powder, and cook until the spinach is wilted, about 2 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Remove the skillet from heat.
- In another skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium-low heat.
- Place one tortilla in the skillet and sprinkle half of the shredded cheese over one half of the tortilla.
- Layer half of the mushroom and spinach mixture on top of the cheese, then fold the tortilla in half. Cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and the cheese is melted.
- Repeat the process with the remaining tortillas and filling.
- Remove from the skillet and let them cool slightly before slicing into wedges.
