Ingredients

• 2 large Flour tortillas
• 1 cup Mushrooms
• 1 cup Shredded Jack cheese
• 1 tablespoon Butter
• 1 teaspoon Olive oil
• 1 clove Garlic (minced)
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 tablespoon Fresh cilantro (optional, chopped)
• 2 tablespoons Sour cream (optional, for serving)
• 2 tablespoons Salsa (optional, for serving)

Directions

Step 1

Clean and slice the mushrooms thinly.

Step 2

Heat a medium skillet over medium heat and add olive oil. Once heated, add the minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 3

Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet. Sprinkle in the salt and black pepper. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms are tender and any moisture has evaporated. Remove from heat and set aside.

Step 4

Place one tortilla on a clean surface. Sprinkle half of the shredded Jack cheese evenly over the tortilla.

Step 5

Spread the sautéed mushrooms over the layer of cheese, ensuring an even distribution. If using cilantro, sprinkle it over the mushrooms.

Step 6

Sprinkle the remaining shredded Jack cheese over the mushrooms, then top with the second tortilla.

Step 7

Heat a large non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Add half of the butter and allow it to melt, coating the surface.

Step 8

Carefully place the quesadilla in the skillet. Cook for 2-3 minutes, pressing down lightly with a spatula, until the bottom tortilla is golden brown and the cheese begins to melt.

Step 9

Using a wide spatula, carefully flip the quesadilla. Add the remaining butter to the skillet to ensure the second side browns evenly. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until golden brown and the cheese is fully melted.

Step 10

Remove the quesadilla from the skillet and transfer it to a cutting board. Let it rest for 1-2 minutes before slicing into wedges.

Step 11

Serve warm with sour cream and salsa on the side, if desired.
