Yummm
I've been watching some cooking shows lately and so when it seemed there was nothing good to eat in the kitchen yesterday, I was inspired and got a little creative. Using only what ingredients I could scrape up in the fridge I made the most delicious quesadillas for lunch! I liked them so much I made them again for dinner tonight.
And here's how I did it.
Ingredients:
2 - Mission Carb Balance Flour Tortillas
3 - Muenster Cheese Slices
Kraft Reduced Fat Mayo with Olive Oil
Fresh mushrooms - finely chopped, as many as you want
Fresh Spinach - chopped, as much as you want
Extra Virgin Olive Oil
Directions:
Put a little olive oil in a small frying pan over medium heat.
Add mushrooms and cover. Sautee a couple of minutes, stirring a few times.
Add spinach and cover. The spinach will wilt pretty quickly and once it does you can stir it, then turn off heat and leave it covered on the burner while you are preparing the tortillas.
Heat a larger frying pan on medium to medium high. Place the tortilla in the pan and cover. Once that side is slightly browned (a couple of minutes) turn it over and brown the other side. (the first time I did this I used a little olive oil when frying the tortillas, but it isn't necessary.) When that one is done, put it on a cutting board and brown the other one.
While the other is browning spread your mayo on the finished tortilla. You can use any type of flavorful mayo or dressing (I bet ranch would be good). Spoon the mushrooms and spinach onto the tortilla, including leftover olive oil in the pan too, and distribute evenly over tortilla. Place the cheese slices to cover all of it. By now the other tortilla should be done browning so place it on top. Place the whole thing into the frying pan and further brown both sides until crispy and the cheese is oozing out. Place back on cutting board, cut into fours and voila!
Optional: Onions would be a great addition to this dish but I don't care for them myself. Be creative, use whatever ingredients you have laying around the kitchen. With crispy tortillas and all that gooey cheese, it would be really difficult to screw this dish up. Happy cooking!
