Baked Spinach Mushroom Quesadillas

Here’s a delicious recipe for Baked Spinach Mushroom Quesadillas:

Ingredients:

• 2 cups fresh spinach, chopped
• 1 cup mushrooms, sliced
• 1 small onion, finely chopped
• 1 clove garlic, minced
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1/2 teaspoon paprika
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 4 large flour tortillas
• 2 cups shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or a mix)
• Cooking spray or a little extra olive oil for brushing

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Prepare the Filling:
   • Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
   • Add the chopped onion and cook until it becomes translucent, about 3 minutes.
   • Add the garlic and cook for another minute.
   • Add the sliced mushrooms and cook until they release their moisture and start to brown, about 5-7 minutes.
   • Add the chopped spinach and cook until wilted, about 2-3 minutes.
   • Season with ground cumin, paprika, salt, and pepper. Stir well to combine. Remove from heat.
3. Assemble the Quesadillas:
   • Lay out the flour tortillas on a flat surface.
   • Divide the spinach and mushroom mixture evenly among the tortillas, spreading it over one half of each tortilla.
   • Sprinkle the shredded cheese over the vegetable mixture.
   • Fold the empty half of each tortilla over the filling to form a half-moon shape.
4. Bake the Quesadillas:
   • Place the quesadillas on a baking sheet. Lightly brush the tops with olive oil or spray with cooking spray to help them crisp up.
   • Bake in the preheated oven for about 10-12 minutes, or until the tortillas are golden brown and the cheese is melted.
5. Serve:
   • Remove from the oven and let them cool slightly before cutting into wedges.
   • Serve with your favorite salsa, sour cream, or guacamole.
