Crispy Mushroom, Spinach, And Avocado Quesadillas
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/2 red onion, chopped
- salt
- 8 -10 ounces mushrooms (creminis, AKA baby bellas, thinly sliced)
- 6 ounces Baby Spinach, roughly chopped
- 1/2 small lime, juiced
- 2 1/2 cups monterey jack cheese or 2 1/2 cups cheddar cheese, divided
- 2 avocados, cut into thin slices
- 4 medium whole wheat tortillas
- salsa
- 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.
