Ingredients

3 tablespoons butter, plus more as needed
10 ounces white mushrooms, sliced
1/2 to 1 teaspoon chili powder
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 cup coarsely chopped fresh cilantro leaves
4 (10-inch) flour tortillas
8 ounces grated Monterey jack cheese, about 2 1/2 cups
2 ounces crumbled feta cheese, about 1/2 cup
Optional garnishes: Sour cream, cilantro sprigs, salsa

Directions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.

Melt 2 tablespoons of the butter in a medium skillet over medium-high heat. Add the mushrooms, shake the pan to distribute them evenly in the pan, and then cook without moving until the mushrooms begin to brown, about 5 minutes. Do not salt. Add the remaining tablespoon butter along the sides of the pan if the pan seems very dry. Toss the mushrooms, and continue to cook until nicely browned, about 2 to 3 minutes more. Season mushrooms with the chili powder and salt and cook 1 minute more. Stir in the cilantro and set aside.

Toast the tortillas directly on a medium gas burner, turning occasionally until slightly blistered on each side. (If you have an electric burner, do this in a dry cast iron skillet.) Place the tortillas on the prepared baking sheet. Spread the jack cheese on one half of each tortilla, top with some of the mushrooms, and then sprinkle with the feta. Fold the other half of the tortilla over the filling, to make a half moon shape. Lay another sheet of foil over the quesadillas. Bake until the cheese melts, about 12 minutes. Serve whole or sliced into wedges, with optional garnishes.

A little dry
Rated: 3 stars out of 5

This was okay...I've made quesadillas a lot, but this one came out a little on the dry side. I would make sure to add a lot... of cheese and make sure the mixture is buttery. If you use the feta add a generous amount to get the flavor. Read more

Simply Delicious
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

Everyone enjoyed these immensely. I followed the recipe except I added 10 oz. of baby bella's. It still only made 4... quesadillas with the addition. All in all easy and delicious.Read more

mushroom heaven
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

These are great and so easy and flavorful! The first couple times I made them, I used regular salt and didn't bother with... the feta cheese, and they were very good, but I finally bought some kosher salt and tried these with the feta cheese and my husband and I loved them even more !! I make a quick quacamole to spread on them at the table - mash up a haas avocado, with a little salt, lime juice and sour cream, and you're good to go. So easy and so good !Read more
