Ingredients

• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 2 cups White or cremini mushrooms, sliced
• 1 medium Red bell pepper, diced
• 3 cups Spinach, fresh
• 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon Cumin
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 4 pieces Whole wheat tortillas
• 1 cup Shredded mozzarella or cheddar cheese
• 1 medium Avocado, sliced (optional, for garnish)
• 0 Fresh salsa or Greek yogurt (optional, for serving)

Directions

Step 1

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.

Step 2

Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 3

Add the sliced mushrooms and diced red bell pepper to the skillet. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms release their moisture and the peppers soften.

Step 4

Stir in the fresh spinach, paprika, cumin, salt, and black pepper. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the spinach is wilted. Remove the vegetable mixture from the skillet and set aside.

Step 5

Wipe the skillet clean with a paper towel and return it to medium heat.

Step 6

Place one tortilla flat in the skillet. Sprinkle approximately 2 tablespoons of shredded cheese evenly over one half of the tortilla.

Step 7

Top the cheese with a portion of the cooked vegetable mixture, spreading it evenly. Add another 2 tablespoons of cheese on top of the vegetables.

Step 8

Fold the tortilla in half to form a semicircle. Press down gently with a spatula to ensure even cooking.

Step 9

Cook the quesadilla for 2-3 minutes on each side until the tortilla is golden brown and crispy and the cheese is melted.

Step 10

Transfer the cooked quesadilla to a cutting board and repeat with the remaining tortillas and filling.

Step 11

Slice each quesadilla into wedges and serve warm. Garnish with sliced avocado, fresh salsa, or a dollop of Greek yogurt if desired.
