Ingredients

Scale

Quesadillas

  • 8 small flour or corn tortillas
  • 2 cups fresh spinach
  • 1 cup mushrooms, sliced
  • 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or a blend)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Optional Toppings

  • Sour cream
  • Salsa
  • Guacamole

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C). This ensures that the quesadillas will crisp up nicely when baked.
  2. Sauté the vegetables: In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Then, add the sliced mushrooms and cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they release their moisture and become tender.
  3. Add the spinach: Once the mushrooms are cooked, add the fresh spinach to the skillet. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the spinach wilts down. Season with salt and pepper to taste, then remove from heat.
  4. Assemble the quesadillas: On one half of each tortilla, place a portion of the sautéed spinach and mushroom mixture. Sprinkle a generous amount of shredded cheese on top, then fold the tortilla over to create a half-moon shape.
  5. Bake the quesadillas: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup. Place the assembled quesadillas on the baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for about 10-12 minutes, or until the tortillas are golden brown and crispy, and the cheese is melted.
  6. Slice and serve: Once baked, remove the quesadillas from the oven and let them cool for a minute. Slice each quesadilla into wedges and serve with your choice of toppings like sour cream, salsa, or guacamole.

Notes

  • Use flour or corn tortillas according to your dietary preference or to keep the recipe gluten free (choose corn tortillas for gluten free).
  • To make it vegan, substitute shredded cheese with dairy-free cheese alternatives and skip optional sour cream, or use vegan sour cream.
  • Adding a pinch of red pepper flakes while sautéing can add a nice subtle heat.
  • Leftover quesadillas can be reheated in a toaster oven or skillet for best crispness.
  • For extra protein, add cooked diced chicken or beans inside before baking.
