Ingredients
Scale
Vegetables
- 2 cups fresh spinach, chopped
- 1 cup mushrooms, sliced (any variety)
Seasonings & Oil
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- ¼ teaspoon dried thyme (optional)
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Cooking spray or extra olive oil, for brushing
Dairy & Tortillas
- 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or a blend)
- 4 large flour tortillas
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it to prevent sticking.
- Cook the Vegetables: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add sliced mushrooms and sauté for 5 minutes until softened. Stir in chopped spinach and cook for 2 minutes until wilted. Season with garlic powder, onion powder, thyme (if using), salt, and pepper to taste. Remove from heat.
- Assemble the Quesadillas: Place two tortillas on the prepared baking sheet. Sprinkle cheese over half of each tortilla. Spoon the spinach mushroom mixture evenly over the cheese. Top with additional cheese, then fold each tortilla in half to seal.
- Bake: Lightly brush the tops of the folded quesadillas with olive oil or spray with cooking spray. Bake in the preheated oven for 10–12 minutes, or until the tortillas are golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Serve: Remove from the oven and let cool slightly. Slice into wedges and serve warm with salsa, sour cream, or your favorite dipping sauce.
Notes
- You can customize the cheese blend to your preference or dietary needs.
- For a gluten-free option, substitute flour tortillas with gluten-free tortillas.
- Add cooked chicken or beans to the filling for extra protein.
- Adjust seasoning quantities according to your taste.
- Serve with guacamole or pico de gallo for added flavor.
