Cotija-crusted Mushroom Quesadilla Recipe

Cooking Instructions

1. 1

   Caramelize the Onions

   Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and cook, stirring occasionally, for about 15-20 minutes until they are soft and caramelized. Remove from heat and set aside.

2. 2

   Sauté the Mushrooms

   In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil and the sliced mushrooms. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes until they're browned and tender. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

3. 3

   Assemble the Quesadillas

   On one half of each tortilla, layer the crumbled goat cheese, shredded Monterey Jack, sautéed mushrooms, caramelized onions, and chopped cilantro. Fold the tortillas over to create a half-moon shape.

4. 4

   Cook the Quesadillas

   In a clean skillet over medium heat, add the quesadillas one at a time. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until the tortillas are golden brown and the cheese is melted.

5. 5

   Serve

   Cut the quesadillas into wedges and serve with cilantro-lime sour cream, guacamole, garlic crema, and toasted pepitas on the side.
