How to Make This Recipe
- Preheat the oven to 200°F and line a large baking sheet with aluminum foil to keep the finished quesadillas warm.
- Sauté the onion and garlic in olive oil, then add the mushrooms and sauté until nicely browned. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Add the spinach, a handful at a time, and cook until wilted and transfer the mixture to a bowl. Add the cilantro and combine.
- Wipe out the pan and return it to the stove over medium-low heat. Brush a little olive oil onto one side of a tortilla. Add it to the pan, oiled side down, and layer on 1/4 cup of the cheese.
- As soon as the cheese begins to melt, some of the mushroom-spinach mixture over one half of the tortilla and fold the other side over it. Cook until the cheese is thoroughly melted and the tortilla is lightly toasted, turning once or twice to ensure even cooking.
- Transfer the cooked quesadilla to the baking sheet and place it in the oven to keep warm. Repeat the process with the remaining tortillas, veggies, and cheese.
- Remove the quesadillas from the oven and let them rest for 5 minutes before cutting. Serve with sour cream.
