  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Sprinkle 1/2 cup cheese on one side of each tortilla. Place tortillas cheese side up on baking sheets, and bake 5 minutes, or until cheese is melted.

  • Melt the butter in a skillet over medium heat. Stir in garlic and mushrooms, and cook about 5 minutes. Mix in spinach, and continue cooking 5 minutes. Place an equal amount of the mixture on the cheese side of each tortilla. Fold tortillas in half over the filling.

  • Heat oil in a separate skillet over medium heat. Place quesadillas in the skillet one at a time, and cook 3 minutes on each side, until golden brown. Cut each quesadilla into 4 wedges to serve.

Tip

Aluminum foil can be used to keep food moist, cook it evenly, and make clean-up easier.

I got a new quesadilla "grille" at Target for 20 (later getting rid of it...isn't needed. This is comfort food for sure. Get a bunch of 10" flour tortillas since it is hard to say how many you will need. I sauteed portabella and crimini mushrooms with onion and garlic plus a few spices "du jour" also doubled the spinach and used 2% cheese of my choice. Later I did the same thing with chicken and no spinach. These are the same sauteed ingredients of many pasta dishes. I folded giant spinach tortilla's in half and cooked them in my panini press. I packaged up two of the spinach quesadillas with two chicken/vegetable ones in aluminum foil to freeze. A couple minutes in the toaster oven (which I don't own?) or just thawed and it's instant finger food. Dice anything you like cook it anyway you like then put it in between a couple tortillas (I like flour or whole wheat or spinach or...) and it's either a snack a meal or party food. How fun is that?

This recipe was just mediocre. I added some onions to it but otherwise followed the recipe exactly. It was really bland. I had to serve it with salsa to give it some taste. I was really surprised by the high rating until I read the reviews and realized most people altered the original recipe. I think next time I will add some jalapenos to it and maybe some black beans like other reviewers did. It's definitely lacking some kick.

These were great! However you don't need to add oil to the pan to brown them. Just use med-high heat and they should brown just as nicely.

Delish. The pat dry part way important. I've made these twice (on the same day) and got rave reviews. They want to have them for another party. Didn't need oil in the pan; they toasted just from the heat of the pan. Thanks!

Simple real tasty and quick...what more could you ask for? Since I like a lot of "heat" in my food I added some chopped fresh jalapeno peppers.

The quesadillas were okay albeit a bit bland. I served with salsa but the filling needed a bit more oomph so the second go around I added a diced jalepeno black beans and topped with sour cream guacamole and salsa. I am a vegetarian and find the tastes to mix together well. Much better mhhmmm...

Instead of spinach I used fresh swiss chard from the garden. I steamed/sauteed it with the mushrooms and garlic then drained mixture in a colander to remove excess liquid. Hubby the Hungry Carnivore gobbled up 3 of them standing at the kitchen counter!

These were soooo good! I did make some changes though based on what I had in the fridge. I used a combination of parmesan and mozzarella cheeses. Second I used "regular" mushrooms as I did not have portobellos. I also added some fresh parsley because I wanted to use it up before it went bad in my fridge. It turned out tasting amazing and I served it was sour cream.
