- 1 tablespoon of olive oil
- 1 teaspoon of minced garlic
- 1 teaspoon of ground cumin

Instructions
- In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat.
- Add 2 cups of sliced mushrooms and sauté for 5 minutes, or until they are golden brown and tender.

- Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Carefully transfer one quesadilla to the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until the tortilla is golden brown and the cheese is melted. Repeat with the remaining quesadillas.
