Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.
- Melt 2 tablespoons of the butter in a medium skillet over medium-high heat. Add the mushrooms, shake the pan to distribute them evenly in the pan, and then cook without disturbing until the mushrooms begin to brown, about 5 minutes. Do not add salt. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon butter along the side of the skillet if the skillet seems very dry. Toss the mushrooms, and continue to cook until nicely browned, about 2 to 3 minutes more. Season mushrooms with the chili powder and salt and cook for 1 minute. Stir in the chopped cilantro and set aside.
- Toast the tortillas directly on a medium gas burner, turning occasionally until slightly blistered on each side. (If you have an electric burner, do this in a dry cast-iron skillet.) Place the tortillas on the prepared baking sheet. Spread the jack cheese on one half of each tortilla, top with some of the mushrooms, and then sprinkle with the feta. Fold the other half of the tortilla over the filling, to make a half-moon shape. Lay another sheet of foil over the quesadillas. Bake until the cheese melts, about 12 minutes. Serve whole or sliced into wedges, with optional garnishes.

CRISPY MUSHROOM, SPINACH, AND AVOCADO QUESADILLAS
This recipe gets the award for best recipe of the year so far. I didn't have mushrooms, and they're not my favorite anyway so I added extra spinach. Instead of avocado slices, I made guacamole so I had the flavors of jalapeno and cilantro (plus it spread nicely. I also cut them into 4ths instead of 3rds because it's easier to eat that way. These are hard to stop eating, so if you think this serves 4...think again. Recipe courtesy of Cookie and Kate.

BLUE CORN, MUSHROOM AND CHEESE QUESADILLAS
Steps:
- For the porcinis: Heat the oil over medium heat in a large, heavy frying pan. Add the onions and cook, stirring, until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the mushrooms and chiles and continue cooking until golden brown, about 5 more minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Add the cilantro and set aside.
- For the blue corn tortillas: In a bowl, mix the harina de maiz azul, masa harina and salt with the warm water using a wooden spoon until a dough is formed, about 2 minutes. Let stand, covered tightly with plastic wrap, for 2 minutes.
- Divide the dough into 12 parts. Roll each part into a ball, keeping the balls you are not using in a plastic bag so that they don't dry out. (If the dough does get too dry, add a little extra water.)
- Place a ball on a sheet of plastic wrap and cover it with another sheet. Flatten slightly with the palm of your hand, and then finish rolling with a rolling pin, working quickly and lightly. Flip the package over and repeat until an approximately 6-inch circle is formed. Repeat with all the dough balls.
- Preheat a flat griddle or pan to high heat.
- Peel away the top layer of plastic wrap, flip the package over gently and peel away the other piece of plastic wrap. Transfer to the griddle.
- Bake on the first side for about 30 seconds. Flip and bake on the second side for about 30 seconds. Flip once again. Remove from the griddle and keep warm.
- To assemble, spread with a quarter of the cheese on 1 tortilla. Garnish with a quarter of the mushrooms and top with another tortilla. Place on the griddle, turn the heat down to medium-high and press down gently. Cook until the cheese begins to melt. Flip the quesadilla, and heat for another minute. Repeat with the remaining ingredients. Serve with salsa if desired.

Steps:
- Heat oil in a large pan over medium high heat. Add garlic and, just as it starts to turn golden brown, mushrooms. Sautee until the mushrooms start to cook through.
- Add chopped chard. You may have to do this in batches, adding more as the previous batch wilts to a manageable amount in the pan. Once all the chard is in and slightly wilted, add broth. Cover and cook until the chard is tender.
- Uncover and, if there is still some liquid, allow it to cook almost completely off. When there is just a little bit of liquid, add butter and vinegar. These should combine with the small amount of remaining liquid and thicken into a nice coating for the veggies. Remove from heat. If serving to little ones who can't manage tortillas, separate out their portion of veggies, chop finely, and mix with some grated cheese.
- Wipe out pan and melt a pat of butter, swirling to coat bottom. Place a tortilla in the pan, sprinkle 1/2 of the cheese you want in a single quesadilla, top with veggies, sprinkle rest of cheese, and close with a second tortilla. When bottom layer of cheese melts and bottom quesadilla browns, flip. Melt and brown the other side, and viola! Repeat about 4 more times. Serve with choice of garnish(es).

Tips:
- Use a variety of mushrooms. This will give your quesadillas a more complex flavor and texture. Some good options include shiitake, oyster, and cremini mushrooms.
- Chop the mushrooms finely. This will help them cook evenly and prevent them from becoming tough.
- Sauté the mushrooms until they are browned and tender. This will bring out their flavor and make them more flavorful.
- Season the mushrooms with your favorite spices. Some good options include garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika.
- Use a good quality cheese. This will make a big difference in the flavor of your quesadillas. Some good options include cheddar, Monterey Jack, and queso Oaxaca.
- Warm the tortillas before filling them. This will make them more pliable and less likely to tear.
- Fill the tortillas with a generous amount of filling. Don't be afraid to pile it on!
- Cook the quesadillas over medium heat until the cheese is melted and gooey.
Conclusion:
