Step‑by‑Step Instructions for Crispy Cheese and Mushroom Quesadillas
- Start by mashing the avocados in a bowl until smooth and creamy; set aside. Dice the red pepper and red onion, and slice the white mushrooms thinly.
- Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat in a skillet. Add the diced red onion and red pepper, stirring occasionally. Cook for about 4–5 minutes until softened, and then add minced garlic, sautéing for an additional minute until fragrant.
- Toss in the sliced mushrooms and a pinch of salt, cooking until they have released their juices and are tender, roughly another 5 minutes.
- Lay a flour tortilla flat on a clean surface and spread a generous layer of mashed avocado on one half. Sprinkle a good amount of mozzarella cheese on the other half, followed by the sautéed mushroom mixture. Carefully fold the tortilla in half.
- In the same skillet, add a bit more olive oil or butter over medium-high heat. Place the quesadilla cheese-side down in the skillet and cover with a lid. Cook for about 3–4 minutes, or until the bottom tortilla is golden brown and the cheese begins to melt.
- Carefully flip the quesadilla using a spatula, cooking the other side for another 3–4 minutes until crispy.
- Once both sides of the quesadilla are perfectly golden and crispy, transfer it to a cutting board. Allow it to rest for a moment before cutting into wedges.
- Pair your Crispy Cheese and Mushroom Quesadillas with sour cream, salsa, or ranch dressing for dipping.
