Ingredients

  • 2 cups Fresh Spinach Washed and roughly chopped.
  • 1 cup Mushrooms Chopped, can use cremini or button mushrooms.
  • 1.5 cups Shredded Cheese Blend of mozzarella and cheddar.
  • 4 large Whole Wheat Tortillas Large enough to hold the filling.
  • 1 tablespoon Olive Oil For sautéing vegetables.

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  • Wash the fresh spinach thoroughly under cold water, then roughly chop and set aside.
  • Clean the mushrooms with a damp cloth and chop them into small pieces.
  • In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat, add minced garlic, and sauté for about 30 seconds.
  • Add the chopped mushrooms to the skillet and sauté for about 5 minutes until tender.
  • Add the chopped spinach to the skillet, stir well, and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Remove from heat and let the filling cool slightly.
  • On a clean surface, lay out one tortilla, sprinkle cheese over half, add the filling, and top with more cheese.
  • Fold the tortilla in half and press down gently to seal. Repeat with remaining tortillas.
  • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and place the quesadillas on it. Brush tops lightly with olive oil.
