Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 2 large flour tortillas
- 2 cups of fresh spinach, chopped
- 1 cup of mushrooms, sliced
- 1/2 cup of shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/4 cup of diced red onion
- 1/4 cup of diced tomatoes
- 1/4 cup of sour cream
- 1 tablespoon of olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 chipotle pepper in adobo sauce
- 1/4 cup of mayonnaise
- 1 clove of garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon of lime juice
Instructions
- In a small bowl, mix together the chipotle pepper, mayonnaise, minced garlic, and lime juice to make the spicy chipotle sauce. Set aside.
- Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced mushrooms and cook for 3-4 minutes until they are golden brown. Add the chopped spinach and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the spinach is wilted. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Remove from heat and set aside.
- Place a large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Lay one flour tortilla flat in the skillet. Sprinkle half of the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the tortilla. Spoon the cooked spinach and mushroom mixture over the cheese. Sprinkle with diced red onion and diced tomatoes. Top with the remaining shredded cheddar cheese. Place the second tortilla on top.
- Cook for 2-3 minutes until the bottom tortilla is golden brown and crispy. Carefully flip the quesadilla using a large spatula and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the second side is golden brown and the cheese is melted.
- Remove the quesadilla from the skillet and carefully transfer it to a cutting board. Using a sharp knife, cut the quesadilla into quarters.
- Divide the spicy chipotle sauce and sour cream into two small bowls for dipping.
- To assemble the quesadilla bowl, place the cut quesadilla quarters in a bowl and serve with the spicy chipotle sauce and sour cream on the side.
