Mushroom Quesadillas

Mushrooms and chiles are covered with cheese that’s been fired with jalapeño, then wrapped in a warm tortilla to make a rich and creamy—and slightly messy—Tex-Mex treat.

Recipe information

  • Yield

    serves 4, 3 pieces per serving

Ingredients

1 teaspoon canola or corn oil
16 ounces presliced fresh button mushrooms
1/2 cup low-fat condensed cream of mushroom soup (lowest sodium available)
2 tablespoons chopped canned green chiles, drained
4 6-inch corn tortillas
1 cup grated low-fat jalapeño Jack or low-fat Monterey Jack cheese (about 4 ounces)
1/4 cup spicy salsa (lowest sodium available)

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    In a medium skillet, heat the oil over medium heat, swirling to coat the bottom. Cook the mushrooms for 2 to 4 minutes, stirring occasionally. Drain the liquid, if any.

    Step 2

    Stir in the soup and chiles. Cook for 2 minutes, or until heated through, stirring frequently.

    Step 3

    Meanwhile, using the package directions, warm the tortillas in a microwave oven.

    Step 4

    Place the warm tortillas on a microwaveable tray. Spread the mushroom mixture on one half of each tortilla, leaving 1/2 inch around the edge. Sprinkle the jalapeño Jack over the filling. Fold each tortilla in half over the filling. Press the edges together. Microwave on 100 percent power (high) for 1 minute. Cut each tortilla into 3 pieces. Put a dab of salsa on each piece.
