Mushroom and Cheese Quesadilla Recipe

Mexican · Main course · 25 min total

A crispy, golden quesadilla filled with savory sautéed mushrooms and melted cheese, perfect for a quick lunch or dinner.

Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 8 ounces cremini mushrooms, sliced
• 1/2 small onion, thinly sliced
• 1 clove garlic, minced
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
• 4 large flour tortillas (8-inch)
• 1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
• 1/2 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
• Optional: sour cream and salsa for serving

Instructions

1. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add mushrooms and onion; cook, stirring occasionally, until mushrooms are browned and onions are soft, about 5-7 minutes. Add garlic, salt, and pepper; cook for 1 minute more. Remove from heat.
2. Lay tortillas flat on a work surface. Sprinkle half of each tortilla with cheeses. Divide mushroom mixture evenly over the cheese. Fold the other half of each tortilla over the filling to form a half-moon.
3. Heat a clean skillet or griddle over medium heat. Place one quesadilla in the skillet and cook until golden brown on the bottom, about 2-3 minutes. Flip and cook until the other side is golden and cheese is melted, about 2 minutes more. Repeat with remaining quesadilla.
4. Cut each quesadilla into wedges. Serve with sour cream and salsa if desired.

Tips

• For extra flavor, add a pinch of cumin or chili powder to the mushrooms.
• Use a non-stick skillet to prevent sticking and ensure even browning.
• Keep cooked quesadillas warm in a 200°F oven while cooking the rest.
