Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Vegetables

    Clean and slice the mushrooms, onion, tomato, and bell pepper into thin strips.

  2. 2

    Heat the Olive Oil

    In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Sauté the Vegetables

    Add the sliced mushrooms, onion, bell pepper, salt, and black pepper to the skillet. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes or until the vegetables are tender.

  2. 4

    Add Tomato

    Add the diced tomato to the skillet and cook for an additional 2 minutes, until heated through. Remove from heat and set aside.

  3. 5

    Assemble the Quesadilla

    In the same skillet, place one tortilla and sprinkle half of the shredded cheese on one half of it. Add a portion of the sautéed vegetable mixture on top of the cheese, then sprinkle a little more cheese on top. Fold the tortilla over to create a half-moon shape.

  4. 6

    Cook the Quesadilla

    Cook the quesadilla in the skillet for about 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown and the cheese is melted. Repeat the process for the other tortillas.

  5. 7

    Serve

    Cut the quesadillas into wedges and garnish with chopped cilantro if desired. Serve warm.
