Time 25m

Yield Makes 4 quesadillas

Number Of Ingredients 15

4 medium to large flour or corn tortillas, see our homemade flour tortilla recipe
1 tablespoon neutral oil or butter
5 ounces mushrooms, sliced (about 2 cups sliced)
1 small onion, sliced
1 bell pepper or poblano pepper, seeds removed and sliced
3 cups torn kale leaves or spinach
1/4 teaspoon onion powder
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
1/4 teaspoon oregano, preferably Mexican oregano
1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika
1/4 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
5 ounces melting cheese like Monterey Jack, shredded (about 1 1/4 cups)
Spray oil or oil brushed onto pan

Steps:

  • Heat the oil or butter in a wide skillet over medium-high heat. Add mushrooms and spread into one layer. Cook, without moving, until browned on one side, 3 to 5 minutes.
  • Stir the mushrooms around the pan, and then add the sliced onions, peppers, onion powder, garlic powder, cumin, oregano, smoked paprika, pepper and the salt. Cook the vegetables until the onions have softened and smell sweet, about 5 minutes. Add the kale or spinach and cook until bright green and wilted, another 2 to 3 minutes.
  • Make quesadillas or transfer the cooked vegetables to an airtight container and refrigerate up to 5 days.
  • Heat a heavy-bottomed skillet over medium heat. Lightly spray the pan or brush it with oil, and then place one tortilla down into the pan.
  • Spread a quarter of the cheese over the tortilla and then spoon a quarter of the cooked vegetable mixture onto one half. Carefully fold the tortilla in half, and then use a spatula to press the top down so that it stays folded. Cook until the underside is toasted, about 2 minutes.
  • Carefully flip the quesadilla and cook until the second side is toasted and the cheese is melted, 1 to 2 minutes. Transfer the quesadilla to a cutting board and cut in half. Repeat with remaining quesadillas.
  • Keep cooked quesadillas warm in a 200 degree F oven while you finish making the remaining quesadillas.

  • Choose the right cheese. For a classic quesadilla, use a Mexican cheese blend, such as Oaxaca or Chihuahua. For a more unique flavor, try using a sharp cheddar, Monterey Jack, or pepper Jack cheese.
  • Don't overload the quesadilla. Too many fillings will make it difficult to fold and cook evenly. Stick to a thin layer of cheese and vegetables.
  • Cook the quesadilla over medium heat. This will help to prevent the cheese from burning and the tortilla from getting too crispy.
  • Flip the quesadilla frequently. This will help to ensure that it cooks evenly on both sides.
  • Serve the quesadilla immediately. Quesadillas are best when they are hot and fresh. Top with your favorite salsa, sour cream, and guacamole.
