Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 4 large flour tortillas
- 1 cup of shredded Monterey Jack cheese
- 1 cup of sliced mushrooms
- 2 cups of fresh spinach
- 1/2 teaspoon of cumin
- 1/2 teaspoon of chili powder
- 1/4 teaspoon of salt
- 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper
- 1 ripe avocado
- 1/4 cup of diced red onion
- 1/4 cup of diced tomato
- 1 tablespoon of chopped fresh cilantro
- 1 tablespoon of lime juice
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- In a large skillet, sauté 1 cup of sliced mushrooms over medium heat for 5 minutes, or until they are golden brown. Add 2 cups of fresh spinach and cook for an additional 2 minutes, or until the spinach is wilted. Season with 1/2 teaspoon of cumin, 1/2 teaspoon of chili powder, 1/4 teaspoon of salt, and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper. Remove from heat and set aside.
- In a separate bowl, mash 1 ripe avocado with a fork. Stir in 1/4 cup of diced red onion, 1/4 cup of diced tomato, 1 tablespoon of chopped fresh cilantro, and 1 tablespoon of lime juice. Season with salt and pepper to taste. This is your guacamole.
- Place 2 large flour tortillas on a clean work surface. Sprinkle 1/2 cup of shredded Monterey Jack cheese on each tortilla. Divide the mushroom and spinach mixture evenly between the two tortillas. Top each with another 1/2 cup of shredded Monterey Jack cheese and another tortilla.
- Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Carefully transfer one quesadilla to the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the tortilla is golden brown and the cheese is melted. Repeat with the second quesadilla.
- Slice the quesadillas into wedges and serve with the guacamole on the side. Enjoy!
