Ingredients

• 4 large flour tortillas
• 2 cups fresh spinach leaves (chopped)
• 1 cup mushrooms (sliced)
• 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or a blend)
• 1 small onion (finely chopped)
• 2 cloves garlic (minced)
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Optional toppings: Sour cream, salsa, guacamole, or hot sauce

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat the Oven

1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with cooking spray.

Step 2: Sauté the Vegetables

2. Heat Oil: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
3. Sauté Onion and Garlic: Add the chopped onion and minced garlic to the skillet. Sauté for about 2-3 minutes until the onion becomes translucent and fragrant.
4. Add Mushrooms: Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet and cook for another 5 minutes until they are tender and have released their moisture.
5. Add Spinach: Stir in the chopped spinach and cook for 2-3 minutes until wilted. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Remove from heat and set aside.

Step 3: Assemble the Quesadillas

6. Prepare Tortillas: Place two tortillas on the prepared baking sheet.
7. Add Filling: Evenly distribute the spinach and mushroom mixture over the tortillas. Sprinkle the shredded cheese evenly over the vegetables.
8. Top with Tortillas: Place the remaining two tortillas on top of the cheese to form quesadillas.

Step 4: Bake the Quesadillas

9. Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for about 10-12 minutes until the tortillas are golden brown and crispy, and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
10. Flip and Bake Again (Optional): For extra crispiness, carefully flip the quesadillas halfway through the baking time and bake for an additional 3-5 minutes.

Step 5: Serve

11. Slice and Serve: Remove the quesadillas from the oven and let them cool for a minute. Use a sharp knife or pizza cutter to slice them into wedges. Serve hot with your favorite toppings like sour cream, salsa, guacamole, or hot sauce.

Tips for Success

• Even Layer: Ensure the filling is spread out evenly for consistent flavor and texture in each bite.
• Don’t Overstuff: Avoid overstuffing the quesadillas to prevent the filling from spilling out during baking.
• Cheese Choice: Use a blend of cheeses for extra flavor, such as combining cheddar and Monterey Jack.

Variations

• Add Protein: Include cooked chicken, beef, or tofu for added protein.
• Extra Veggies: Add bell peppers, corn, or jalapeños for additional flavor and texture.
• Herb and Spice: Add fresh herbs like cilantro or spices like cumin for an extra kick.
