This simple mushroom quesadilla recipe is a fantastic choice for a quick vegetarian lunch or a casual evening snack. Earthy sliced mushrooms and melted cheese are encased in a crisp, toasted tortilla to create a satisfying meal that relies on store-cupboard staples.

How to make Mushroom Quesadillas

Back to contents

Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Place the tortilla in the pan and cook for about 1 minute, until it begins to bubble.

Flip the tortilla over and sprinkle cheese all over the top.

Once the cheese begins to melt, top half of the tortilla with mushrooms, and fold in half.

Cook for 2 minutes on each side, until the cheese is melted and everything is hot.

Remove the quesadilla from the heat, open, and add your choice of stuffings.
