Crispy Mushroom Spinach And Avocado Quesadillas Food

SPINACH AND MUSHROOM QUESADILLAS

Steps:

• Prepare spinach according to package directions. Drain and pat dry.
• 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.

CRISPY MUSHROOM, SPINACH, AND AVOCADO QUESADILLAS

Steps:

• In a large skillet over medium heat, heat oil until shimmering.
• Add chopped red onion and a dash of salt, stirring occasionally, until the onions are turning translucent. Add sliced mushrooms and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender and turning golden, about 6 minutes.
• Add half the spinach mixture, let it wilt a little, and then add the second.
• Cook until spinach is wilted and the mixture is dry, 2 to 3 minutes or longer. Season with salt and pepper and a splash of lime juice. Remove from heat.
• Divide 1 cup shredded cheese between the 4 quesadillas, covering only half of each tortilla with cheese.
• Divide the spinach and mushroom mixture evenly on top of the cheese on each quesadilla, then top with avocado slices.
• Top all of that with 1 cup shredded cheese, divided equally between the 4 quesadillas. Press the empty tortilla halve over the toppings.
• Heat a medium to large skillet on the stove over medium heat.
• Place one quesadilla into the pan and cook for a few minutes then carefully flip with a spatula.
• Immediately sprinkle some of the remaining cheese over the hot sides of the quesadilla, and let the cheese sizzle into the quesadilla for a couple minutes.
• Flip and cook the other side for a couple minutes if necessary, until both sides are a nice, crisp golden brown.
• Let the quesadillas cool on a cutting board for a few minutes, then slice each quesadilla into three slices using a pizza cutter or a very sharp knife.
• Serve with salsa.

Cook for a few minutes, then flip carefully with a spatula. Immediately sprinkle some of the remaining cheese over the hot sides of the quesadillas, and let it melt as the other side cooks for a few minutes. Flip each quesadilla, and let the cheese sizzle into the quesadilla for a couple of minutes. Flip and cook the other side for a couple more minutes if necessary, until both sides are a nice, crisp golden brown. Let the quesadillas cool on a cutting board for a few minutes, then slice each quesadilla into three slices using a pizza cutter or a very sharp knife. Serve with salsa.
