Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Prepare the Filling

    In a skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the La Coche mushrooms, season with salt and black pepper, and sauté for 5-7 minutes until tender.

  2. 2

    Assemble the Quesadillas

    On one half of each tortilla, layer a portion of the sautéed mushrooms, Oaxaca cheese, and fresh cilantro. Fold the tortilla over to form a half-moon shape.

    Cook the Quesadillas

    In the same skillet, add another tablespoon of olive oil. Cook the quesadillas for 3-4 minutes on each side or until golden brown and the cheese has melted.
