Description

These Baked Spinach Mushroom Quesadillas are a delicious and nutritious twist on traditional quesadillas. Packed with sautéed mushrooms, fresh spinach, and gooey cheeses, they are baked until golden and crisp. Perfect for a quick and satisfying meal!


Ingredients

Scale

For the Filling:

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/2 small onion, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 8 oz mushrooms, sliced
  • 3 cups fresh spinach
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika

For the Quesadillas:

  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 4 large flour tortillas
  • Nonstick cooking spray

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat the oven to 400°F and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Sauté the Vegetables: In a skillet over medium heat, sauté the onion in olive oil. Add garlic and mushrooms, cooking until tender. Stir in spinach until wilted. Season with salt, pepper, and smoked paprika.
  3. Assemble the Quesadillas: Lay out the tortillas, spoon the spinach mushroom mixture onto half of each, sprinkle with cheeses, then fold over to form a half-moon.
  4. Bake: Place the quesadillas on the baking sheet, spray the tops with cooking spray, and bake for 10–12 minutes until golden and crisp. Flip halfway through.
  5. Serve: Let cool slightly, then slice and serve.

Notes

  • Add a pinch of red pepper flakes for heat or stir in a spoonful of cream cheese for added richness.
  • Serve with salsa, sour cream, or guacamole.
  • These quesadillas freeze well and can be reheated in the oven or toaster oven.
