Description

These baked quesadillas are a healthier twist on a classic, filled with sautéed mushrooms, spinach, and melted cheese. Crispy on the outside and gooey on the inside, they’re perfect for a quick weeknight dinner.


Ingredients

  • 8 (8-inch) whole wheat tortillas
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 8 ounces cremini mushrooms, sliced
  • 4 cups fresh spinach
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 cups shredded Monterey Jack cheese
  • Cooking spray


Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add mushrooms and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Add spinach, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Cook until spinach is wilted, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat.
  3. Lay 4 tortillas on the prepared baking sheet. Spread half of the cheese on each tortilla, then top with the mushroom-spinach mixture and remaining cheese. Cover with the remaining tortillas.
  4. Spray the tops with cooking spray. Bake for 10-12 minutes, until golden and crispy. Flip halfway through if desired.
  5. Cut into wedges and serve warm.

Notes

You can customize the seasonings to taste. Use any cheese that melts well, such as cheddar or mozzarella. For extra flavor, add a pinch of red pepper flakes.
