Servings: 4
Ingredients
- Olive oil (2 tablespoons)
- Garlic (2 cloves, minced)
- Onion (1 medium, sliced)
- Mushrooms (2 cups, sliced (any variety you prefer))
- Cumin (1 teaspoon)
- Paprika (1 teaspoon)
- Salt (to taste)
- Black pepper (to taste)
- Cheddar cheese (2 cups, shredded)
- Tortillas (4 (8-inch) flour or corn tortillas)
- Fresh cilantro (for garnish)
Instructions
- Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.
- Add the sliced mushrooms, onion, and minced garlic. Sauté until the mushrooms are golden brown and the onions are translucent, about 5-7 minutes.
- Season the mixture with cumin, paprika, salt, and pepper. Stir well to ensure that the mushrooms and onions are evenly coated with the spices.
- Remove the mushroom mixture from the skillet and set aside on a plate.
- In the same skillet, place a tortilla and sprinkle half of the shredded cheddar cheese on one side.
- Spread half of the mushroom mixture evenly over the cheese.
- Fold the tortilla in half to cover the filling, pressing gently to secure.
- Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until the tortilla is crispy and the cheese is melted. You may need to add a little more olive oil for the second quesadilla.
- Repeat the process with the remaining tortillas, cheese, and mushroom mixture.
- Serve the quesadillas hot, garnished with fresh cilantro. Cut into wedges and enjoy!
