Secret Recipe Club: Mushroom Quesadillas


I know I missed October,  but it's Movember, and it's time for Secret Recipe Club, hosted by Tina of Mom's Crazy Cooking.

This month's assignment is A Southern Fairytale, run by Rachel, who, according to her site is a "deep fried southern belle and aspiring domestic darling."

Well, if I was going to be doing something southern, I was happy to try some Tex-Mex. I found a recipe for mushroom quesadillas that looked quite yummy (and tasted great) and went straight to work. Rachel's recipe had you making full-sized quesadillas by using a full tortilla on the top and bottom. I found that very difficult to flip on the grill - I just haven't had enough practice. Next time, I'll only fill half of the tortilla and fold it over. Flipping it will be much easier.

Mushroom Quesadillas

4 tortillas
3/4 cup cheddar cheese, shredded and divided into 2
5 mushrooms, chopped and divided into 2
1/4 red pepper, chopped and divided into 2
1/4 small onion, chopped and divided into 2
salsa or sour cream for serving
  1. Preheat grill on medium.
  2. Place 2 tortillas on grill and sprinkle with half a portion of cheese each.
  3. Sprinkle on a portion of each vegetable and top with the rest of the cheese.
  4. Place remaining two tortillas on top and gently press down.
  5. Grill for 3-5 minutes on each side and let cool for two minutes before cutting using a pizza cutter.
  6. Serve with sour cream or salsa.

  4. You are so right, folding in half is much easier for flipping. Duh... why haven't I ever made quesadillas with mushsrooms. Seriously good idea!

    I hope you'll stop by and see my SRC post for Honey Vinaigrette Marinated Grilled Chicken.
