Mushroom Quesadillas
- 3 tablespoons butter, plus more as needed
- 10 ounces white mushrooms, sliced
- 1/2 to 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/4 cup coarsely chopped fresh cilantro leaves
- 4 (10-inch) flour tortillas
- 8 ounces grated Monterey jack cheese, about 2 1/2 cups
- 2 ounces crumbled feta cheese, about 1/2 cup
- Optional garnishes: Sour cream, cilantro sprigs, salsa
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.
- Melt 2 tablespoons of the butter in a medium skillet over medium-high heat.
- Add the mushrooms, shake the pan to distribute them evenly in the pan, and then cook without moving until the mushrooms begin to brown, about 5 minutes.
- Do not salt.
- Add the remaining tablespoon butter along the sides of the pan if the pan seems very dry.
- Toss the mushrooms, and continue to cook until nicely browned, about 2 to 3 minutes more.
- Season mushrooms with the chili powder and salt and cook 1 minute more.
- Stir in the cilantro and set aside.
- Toast the tortillas directly on a medium gas burner, turning occasionally until slightly blistered on each side.
- (If you have an electric burner, do this in a dry cast iron skillet.)
- Place the tortillas on the prepared baking sheet.
- Spread the jack cheese on one half of each tortilla, top with some of the mushrooms, and then sprinkle with the feta.
- Fold the other half of the tortilla over the filling, to make a half moon shape.
- Lay another sheet of foil over the quesadillas.
- Bake until the cheese melts, about 12 minutes.
- Serve whole or sliced into wedges, with optional garnishes.
