• 1 tablespoon Butter or olive oil
• 2 pieces Garlic cloves
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley or cilantro

Directions

Step 1

Clean the mushrooms with a damp paper towel and slice them thinly.

Mince the garlic and finely chop the fresh parsley or cilantro.

Step 3

In a large skillet, heat the butter or olive oil over medium heat.

Step 4

Add the garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 5

Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they release their moisture and are golden brown.

Season the mushrooms with salt, black pepper, and mix in the parsley or cilantro. Remove from heat and set aside.

Step 7

Place a tortilla on a clean surface and sprinkle a layer of shredded cheese on half of the tortilla.

Step 8

Spread a portion of the sautéed mushrooms over the cheese layer.

Step 9

Fold the tortilla in half to enclose the filling.

Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Place the folded quesadilla on the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes until the underside is golden brown.

Step 11

Carefully flip the quesadilla and cook the other side for another 2-3 minutes until the cheese is fully melted.
