Ingredients

• 4 pieces Large flour tortillas
• 2 large caps Portabella mushrooms
• 0.5 cup Sun-dried tomatoes (in oil, drained)
• 2 cups Shredded mozzarella cheese
• 0.25 cup Fresh basil leaves
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 cloves Garlic cloves (minced)
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Butter (optional, for cooking the quesadillas)

Directions

Step 1

Clean the portabella mushrooms and remove the stems. Slice the caps into thin strips.

Step 2

Heat a skillet over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Add the sliced mushrooms and sauté for 4-5 minutes until softened and lightly browned.

Step 3

Add the minced garlic, sun-dried tomatoes, salt, and pepper to the skillet. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until fragrant. Remove from heat.

Step 4

Preheat another large skillet or griddle over medium-low heat.

Step 5

Take one tortilla and spread about 1/2 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over one half of the tortilla.

Step 6

Add a few spoonfuls of the sautéed mushroom and sun-dried tomato mixture on top of the cheese. Sprinkle a few fresh basil leaves over the filling.

Step 7

Fold the tortilla in half to enclose the filling.

Step 8

Add a small amount of butter or olive oil to the preheated skillet (optional for crispier tortillas). Place the folded quesadilla in the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until the tortilla is golden brown and the cheese is melted.

Step 9

Remove the quesadilla from the skillet and repeat the process with the remaining tortillas and filling.

Step 10

Slice each quesadilla into wedges and serve warm. Optionally, serve with sour cream, guacamole, or salsa on the side.
