    Mushroom Quesadillas

    Oh how I love MUSHROOMS!  One of my very favorite (and oh so easy) ways to eat them is in a quesadilla.  Today I’m sharing my simple way of preparing Mushroom Quesadillas.

    Three triangle slices of quesadillas on brown paper with a small cup of salsa.

    I’ve been a mushroom lover since I can remember.  Even as a child, any restaurant my mama and I ate at I always ordered something with mushrooms (if it was on the menu).  I remember steak with mushroom gravy (with LOTS of mushrooms!) being my favorite meal as a child.

    You just can’t go wrong with crispy tortillas oozing with cheese and sauteed mushrooms and onions.  I had never eaten a mushroom quesadilla until one of my very best friends (Kim) and I went to a Mexican restaurant on our lunch break one day and she ordered one.  They weren’t on the menu so I never thought of ordering one.  Needless to say that’s pretty much what I order every time I go to a Mexican restaurant if they’ll make it for me.

    Ohhhhhh YES!  I used mozzarella cheese in this quesadilla, but I’ve also used a mixture of mozzarella and cheddar, pepper jack and bagged Mexican blend cheeses before… all were awesome!  I like to eat them with Easy Homemade Salsa and/or sour cream.

    Enjoy!

    • 1 cup loosely packed sliced yellow onion
    • ¼ teaspoon salt
    • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
    • ⅛ teaspoon chili powder
    • ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
    • 1 tablespoon fresh chopped cilantro
    • 4 (8 inch) flour tortillas
    • 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese (or mozzarella/cheddar mixture, pepper jack or Mexican blend)
    • Extra chopped fresh chopped cilantro, for garnish (optional)
    • Sour cream and/or salsa

    Instructions

    1. Melt butter in a large skillet over medium high heat. Add mushrooms, onions, salt, pepper, chili powder and garlic powder. Saute for 3 to 4 minutes (or until tender), stirring constantly. Stir in chopped fresh cilantro. Drain off liquid and place in a bowl. Set aside.
