Let's get cooking with your Spinach and Mushroom Breakfast Quesadillas! This dish is a fiesta of flavors, textures, and pure, unadulterated joy for your taste buds. Here's how to create this masterpiece:
Ingredients for One:
2 medium tortillas (choose whole wheat for an extra fiber boost)
½ cup fresh spinach, roughly chopped
½ cup mushrooms, sliced
½ cup shredded cheese (a blend of Monterey Jack and cheddar works wonders)
1 tablespoon olive oil
Salt and pepper to taste
For garnish: sour cream, chopped cilantro, and avocado slices
Instructions:
Sauté the Veggies: Heat the olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the mushrooms and cook until they're soft and slightly browned. Toss in the spinach and cook until just wilted. Season with salt and pepper.
Assemble the Quesadilla: Lay one tortilla flat on a clean surface. Sprinkle half of the cheese over the tortilla. Then, spread the sautéed spinach and mushrooms evenly on top. Sprinkle the remaining cheese over the veggies, and top with the second tortilla.
Cook the Quesadilla: Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Carefully transfer the quesadilla to the skillet. Cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side or until the tortillas are golden brown and the cheese has melted.
Garnish and Serve: Cut the quesadilla into wedges. Serve with a dollop of sour cream, a sprinkle of cilantro, and a few slices of avocado on the side for a creamy, fresh contrast.
