Quesadillas are a classic Mexican dish that can be enjoyed as a main course or snack. They are made with a tortilla filled with a variety of ingredients, folded in half, and grilled until the cheese is melted and the tortilla is crispy. This recipe takes the classic quesadilla up a notch by stuffing it with mushrooms and goat cheese. The mushrooms add a savory, earthy flavor, while the goat cheese provides a creamy, tangy contrast. This quesadilla is a perfect meal for a quick lunch or dinner, and it can be easily customized to your liking.

Steps:
- Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add 2 tablespoons olive oil. Saute the asparagus, mushrooms and onions, about 4 minutes. Add the wine and some salt and pepper. Reduce the heat to low and simmer, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat.
- Wrap the tomatillos and chiles in aluminum foil and place over an open flame for about 5 minutes on each side. Transfer to a blender with the garlic clove and 1/3 cup water. Blend until smooth. Taste and season with salt and pepper.
- Wrap the tortillas in a clean, damp dishcloth and place in the microwave for 2 minutes.
- Fill each tortilla with a little jack cheese and about 1 tablespoon asparagus filling. Fold in half like a taco.
- Heat a large saute pan over medium-high heat and add the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil. Pan-fry the folded quesadillas in batches until golden and crispy, about 3 minutes on each side. Set aside on paper towels to drain any oil.
- Serve each quesadilla with some goat cheese crumbled on top and garnish with fresh cilantro.

Steps:
- Heat the butter in a small skillet over medium-high heat. When the butter has stopped foaming and bubbling, add the mushrooms and sprinkle with salt. Cook, stirring frequently, until the mushrooms have given up their moisture, about 5 minutes. Sprinkle with shallots and cook until the shallots have softened, the moisture has evaporated and the mushrooms are quite tender, about 5 more minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the mint and the goat cheese. Heat the oil on a griddle over medium heat; use a spatula to distribute it so the surface is evenly covered. If you don't have a large griddle, you can use a skillet, but you'll have to cook the quesadillas in more than one batch. Add the tortillas and cook on one side until they have softened, 1 to 2 minutes. Flip them to the other side and spoon 3 to 4 tablespoons of the mushroom mixture in the center. Sprinkle over some of the diced mozzarella and use a spatula to fold the tortilla in half around the filling. Cook until the tortilla begins to brown on one side, about 2 to 3 minutes, and then flip onto the other side and cook until the tortilla browns on that side and the mozzarella is melted, about 2 to 3 minutes more. If some of the melting cheese oozes onto the griddle, that's even better. Repeat if necessary to use up all of the tortillas and filling. Serve immediately, or keep warm in a 250-degree oven until all of the quesadillas have been made

Tips:
- Choose the right mushrooms. Portobello mushrooms are a popular choice for quesadillas, but you can also use shiitake, cremini, or oyster mushrooms. Just be sure to clean the mushrooms thoroughly before cooking.
- Cook the mushrooms properly. Mushrooms should be cooked until they are soft and browned. This will help to bring out their flavor and make them more tender.
- Use a good quality goat cheese. Goat cheese is a key ingredient in these quesadillas, so it's important to use a good quality cheese. Look for a cheese that is creamy and has a mild flavor.
- Don't overstuff the quesadillas. If you overstuff the quesadillas, they will be difficult to fold and cook evenly.
- Cook the quesadillas over medium heat. This will help to prevent the tortillas from burning.
- Serve the quesadillas immediately. Quesadillas are best served hot and fresh out of the pan.
Conclusion:
Quesadillas stuffed with mushrooms and goat cheese are a delicious and easy-to-make meal. They're perfect for a quick lunch or dinner, and they can also be served as an appetizer.
