Ingredients Notes

Mushrooms: Choose any variety you like, such as cremini, button, or shiitake. Mushrooms add a savory umami flavor and a meaty texture, making them a great vegetarian substitute for meat.
Spinach: Fresh spinach works best. You can use frozen spinach, but be sure to squeeze out excess moisture to avoid soggy quesadillas.
Cheese: A good melting cheese like mozzarella, Monterey Jack, or cheddar is ideal. You can even mix two types for extra flavor.
Tortillas: Flour tortillas are most common, but you can use corn tortillas for a gluten-free option.
Seasoning: Feel free to add garlic, onion powder, or chili flakes for more flavor.

Variations and Substitutions

Add Protein: If you want a protein boost, try adding some cooked chicken, black beans, or tofu.
Spice it up: If you like some heat, include diced jalapeños, or use pepper jack cheese.
Dairy-Free Option: Use dairy-free cheese or nutritional yeast for a cheesy flavor without the dairy.

Storage Options

Quesadillas can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. To reheat, simply place them in a skillet or oven to crisp them up again. You can also freeze them for up to 3 months. To reheat from frozen, bake at 375°F for 15-20 minutes or until crispy.
