Ingredients:
- 4 large flour tortillas
- 2 cups baby spinach leaves
- 1 cup mushrooms, sliced
- 1/2 onion, thinly sliced
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, Monterey Jack, or your favorite melting cheese)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Optional toppings: salsa, sour cream, guacamole
- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced mushrooms and thinly sliced onion, and sauté until golden brown and caramelized, about 5-7 minutes.
- Add the minced garlic to the skillet and cook for an additional minute, until fragrant.
- Add the baby spinach leaves to the skillet and cook until wilted, about 1-2 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Remove the skillet from the heat and set aside.
- Heat a separate skillet or griddle over medium heat. Place one flour tortilla in the skillet and sprinkle half of the shredded cheese evenly over the tortilla.
- Spoon half of the mushroom and spinach mixture over the cheese.
- Sprinkle the remaining cheese over the mushroom and spinach mixture.
- Top with another flour tortilla, pressing down gently to seal the quesadilla.
- Cook the quesadilla for 2-3 minutes on each side, until golden brown and crispy, and the cheese is melted.
- Remove the quesadilla from the skillet and let it cool slightly before slicing into wedges.
- Serve your Spinach and Mushroom Quesadilla hot, with your favorite toppings like salsa, sour cream, or guacamole.
- Enjoy this savory delight as a satisfying meal for lunch or dinner during the Lenten season!
