Ingredients
  

8 small flour tortillas

1 cup fresh spinach, chopped

1 cup mushrooms, diced (button or cremini)

1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or a blend)

1/2 small onion, finely chopped

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 tablespoon olive oil

1/2 teaspoon ground cumin

1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika

Salt and pepper to taste

Sour cream or Greek yogurt, for serving

Optional: fresh cilantro, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Sauté the Vegetables: In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 3-4 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 30 seconds until fragrant.

    Cook the Mushrooms: Add the diced mushrooms to the skillet. Cook for about 5-6 minutes until the mushrooms are tender and have released their moisture. Stir in the chopped spinach and continue to cook until wilted, about 2 minutes.

      Season: Season the vegetable mixture with ground cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper to taste. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.

        Prepare Quesadillas: Take a tortilla and sprinkle about 2 tablespoons of cheese onto one half. Spoon some of the mushroom and spinach mixture over the cheese. Top with another 2 tablespoons of cheese before folding the tortilla in half to form a half-moon shape.

          Cook Quesadillas: In a non-stick skillet over medium heat, place the folded quesadilla. Cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and the cheese is melted. Repeat with the remaining tortillas and filling.

            Slice and Serve: Once cooked, remove from the skillet and let cool for a minute, then cut each quesadilla into wedges. Serve warm with sour cream or Greek yogurt on the side. Garnish with chopped cilantro if desired.
