MUSHROOM QUESADILLAS

Categories     appetizer

Time 45m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

3 tablespoons butter, plus more as needed
10 ounces white mushrooms, sliced
1/2 to 1 teaspoon chili powder
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 cup coarsely chopped fresh cilantro leaves
Four 10-inch flour tortillas
8 ounces shredded Monterey jack cheese (about 2 1/2 cups)
2 ounces crumbled feta cheese (about 1/2 cup)
Optional garnishes: Sour cream, cilantro sprigs, salsa

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.
  • Melt 2 tablespoons of the butter in a medium skillet over medium-high heat. Add the mushrooms, shake the pan to distribute them evenly in the pan, and then cook without disturbing until the mushrooms begin to brown, about 5 minutes. Do not add salt. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon butter along the side of the skillet if the skillet seems very dry. Toss the mushrooms, and continue to cook until nicely browned, about 2 to 3 minutes more. Season mushrooms with the chili powder and salt and cook for 1 minute. Stir in the chopped cilantro and set aside.
  • Toast the tortillas directly on a medium gas burner, turning occasionally until slightly blistered on each side. (If you have an electric burner, do this in a dry cast-iron skillet.) Place the tortillas on the prepared baking sheet. Spread the jack cheese on one half of each tortilla, top with some of the mushrooms, and then sprinkle with the feta. Fold the other half of the tortilla over the filling, to make a half-moon shape. Lay another sheet of foil over the quesadillas. Bake until the cheese melts, about 12 minutes. Serve whole or sliced into wedges, with optional garnishes.

CHICKEN/CARAMELIZED MUSHROOMS, ONIONS & CHEESE QUESADILLAS



Chicken/Caramelized Mushrooms, Onions & Cheese Quesadillas image

This quesadilla has everything in it to make my mouth water! :) The caramelized onions make this recipe for me - that's why we added them!!! Loosley based on recipe in Cooking Light Magazine, July 2009 edition. Here they suggest: "Watermelon-jicama salad is a refreshing side dish. Combine 4 cups (1/2-inch) cubed seedless watermelon, 1 1/2 cups (1/2-inch) cubed peeled jicama, 1 cup chopped English cucumber, and 1/2 cup chopped red onion. Add 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice, 2 teaspoons sugar, and 1 teaspoon olive oil; toss well." Any fruit salad side dish would be great & very refreshing! Have tweaked it to suit our personal taste!! :).If the Rondele cheese is a bit too pricey - you can take a sharp cheddar, jalapenos, salt, pepper & some light, no-fat sour cream and beat it until it becomes soft & spreadable - of course, with the cheddar at room temp. The same can be done with the horseradish! This is fly-by-night recipe - I make these kinds of concotions off the top of my head, but I am sure someone made them before I! ;)

MUSHROOM QUESADILLAS



Mushroom Quesadillas image

Provided by Elaine Louie

Time 40m

Yield Six 6-inch quesadillas

Number Of Ingredients 11

12 ounces mixed mushrooms (such as cremini, portobello, shiitake, oyster), trimmed and thinly sliced
3/4 cup finely chopped white onion
3 garlic cloves, finely chopped
2 Serrano chilies, trimmed, seeded, cored, and finely chopped
3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
salt
4 ounces queso chihuahua, or Monterey jack, muenster, or cheddar cheese, finely shredded (to make 1 1/2 cups, loosely packed)
6 6-inch (or three 10-inch) fresh corn tortillas
6 fresh epazote leaves (optional)
Sour cream, for serving
Salsa verde, for serving.

Steps:

  • In a medium bowl, mix the mushrooms, onion, garlic, and chilies until well combined.
  • Place oil in a large heavy skillet over medium-high heat and heat until oil is shimmering. Add the mushroom mixture, season very lightly with salt, and cook, stirring and tossing, until the mushrooms are browned, 6 to 10 minutes. Scrape into a bowl and season with more salt if needed.
  • Divide the cheese among the tortillas, spreading a portion over half of each tortilla, leaving a small empty border, about 1 inch, at the edge. Divide the mushroom mixture among the tortillas, placing it on top of the cheese. Divide the epazote leaves, if using, among the tortillas. Fold the empty side over the filling and press firmly to close.
  • Heat a cast-iron or other heavy griddle over medium heat. Cook the quesadillas in batches, turning once, until light golden brown and crisp, about three minutes per side. Serve immediately, with sour cream and salsa verde on the side.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients: Fresh, flavorful ingredients will make your quesadillas taste better. Look for ripe onions, cremini mushrooms, and sharp cheddar cheese.
  • Don't overcrowd the skillet: When cooking the onions and mushrooms, make sure not to crowd the skillet. This will prevent them from cooking evenly and becoming soggy.
  • Cook the quesadillas until they are golden brown and crispy: This will ensure that the cheese is melted and gooey and the tortillas are crispy and flavorful.
  • Serve the quesadillas with your favorite toppings: Some popular options include salsa, guacamole, sour cream, and pico de gallo. You can also add cooked chicken or steak to the quesadillas for a more filling meal.

Conclusion:

Quesadillas are a delicious and easy-to-make meal that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. They are also a great way to use up leftover ingredients. With so many different variations to choose from, there is sure to be a quesadilla recipe that everyone will enjoy. So next time you are looking for a quick and easy meal, give quesadillas a try!
