CRISPY MUSHROOM, SPINACH, AND AVOCADO QUESADILLAS
This recipe gets the award for best recipe of the year so far. I didn't have mushrooms, and they're not my favorite anyway so I added extra spinach. Instead of avocado slices, I made guacamole so I had the flavors of jalapeno and cilantro (plus it spread nicely. I also cut them into 4ths instead of 3rds because it's easier to eat that way. These are hard to stop eating, so if you think this serves 4...think again. Recipe courtesy of Cookie and Kate.

Steps:
- In a large skillet over medium heat, heat oil until shimmering.
- Add chopped red onion and a dash of salt, stirring occasionally, until the onions are turning translucent. Add sliced mushrooms and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender and turning golden, about 6 minutes.
- Add half the spinach mixture, let it wilt a little, and then add the second.
- Cook until spinach is wilted and the mixture is dry, 2 to 3 minutes or longer. Season with salt and pepper and a splash of lime juice. Remove from heat.
- Divide 1 cup shredded cheese between the 4 quesadillas, covering only half of each tortilla with cheese.
- Divide the spinach and mushroom mixture evenly on top of the cheese on each quesadilla, then top with avocado slices.
- Top all of that with 1 cup shredded cheese, divided equally between the 4 quesadillas. Press the empty tortilla halve over the toppings.
- Heat a medium to large skillet on the stove over medium heat.
- Place one quesadilla into the pan and cook for a few minutes then carefully flip with a spatula.
- Immediately sprinkle some of the remaining cheese over the hot sides of the quesadilla, and let the cheese sizzle into the quesadilla for a couple minutes.
- Flip and cook the other side for a couple minutes if necessary, until both sides are a nice, crisp golden brown.
- Let the quesadillas cool on a cutting board for a few minutes, then slice each quesadilla into three slices using a pizza cutter or a very sharp knife.
- Serve with salsa.
Tips:
- Choose fresh, high-quality ingredients: The quality of your ingredients will greatly impact the flavor of your quesadillas. Use fresh, organic spinach and mushrooms for the best results.
- Don't overcook the vegetables: Overcooked vegetables will be mushy and flavorless. Sauté the spinach and mushrooms until they are just tender, about 2-3 minutes.
- Use a good quality cheese: The type of cheese you use will also make a big difference in the flavor of your quesadillas. Use a flavorful cheese that melts well, such as cheddar, mozzarella, or pepper jack.
- Don't overload the quesadillas: If you overload the quesadillas, they will be difficult to fold and cook evenly. Aim for a thin layer of fillings so that the quesadillas are easy to handle.
- Cook the quesadillas over medium heat: Cooking the quesadillas over medium heat will help to prevent the tortillas from burning and the cheese from becoming overcooked.
Conclusion:
Spinach and mushroom quesadillas are a delicious and easy-to-make meal that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. By following these tips, you can make sure that your quesadillas are packed with flavor and perfectly cooked.
