Description
Cheesy Spinach and Mushroom Quesadillas are crispy, golden tortillas filled with sautéed mushrooms, fresh spinach, and melty cheese. This quick, family-friendly meatless meal is ready in about 20 minutes and tastes amazing with sour cream, salsa, or guacamole.
Ingredients
4 large flour tortillas
1 tbsp olive oil
1 cup mushrooms, sliced
2 cups fresh spinach
1 tsp garlic (minced or garlic powder)
1 tsp onion powder
Salt, to taste
Black pepper, to taste
1 to 1½ cups shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, Monterey Jack, or blend)
Sour cream, for serving (optional)
Instructions
1. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.
2. Add mushrooms and cook 4–5 minutes until softened and lightly browned.
3. Stir in spinach, garlic, onion powder, salt, and pepper; cook 1–2 minutes until spinach wilts.
4. Transfer veggie mixture to a plate and wipe the skillet clean.
5. Place one tortilla in the skillet; sprinkle cheese over half the tortilla.
6. Spoon spinach-mushroom filling over the cheese and top with a little more cheese.
7. Fold tortilla in half and cook 2–3 minutes per side until golden and cheese melts.
8. Repeat with remaining tortillas, then slice and serve warm with sour cream.
Notes
Cheese tip: Monterey Jack, cheddar, or a blend melts best.
For extra crispiness, lightly brush tortillas with olive oil before cooking.
Add-ins: bell peppers, green onions, or a pinch of smoked paprika are great options.
Reheat leftovers in a skillet (not the microwave) to keep them crispy.
