Wild Mushroom Quesadillas image

You don't have to use wild mushrooms, of course, but if you can get chanterelles - oh man. It takes a bit of time at the stove, but when the quesadilla is done, you have a great handheld food that is, among other things, very kid friendly.

Time 30m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

4 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 pound chanterelles, black trumpet or other wild mushrooms (or substitute oyster, crimini or clamshell mushrooms; do not use shiitake), roughly chopped
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
½ cup minced yellow onion
4 ounces grated Oaxaca or domestic Muenster cheese
4 ounces grated panela or aged mozzarella cheese
4 ounces grated cotija or Parmesan cheese
1/3 cup finely chopped cilantro leaves
½ teaspoon dried oregano
Pinch of ground coriander
8 8-inch flour or corn tortillas, preferably homemade (see recipe)

Steps:

  • Place a medium sauté pan over medium-high heat and add 2 tablespoons vegetable oil. When oil shimmers, add mushrooms and a generous pinch of salt. Sauté until mushrooms release their liquid, liquid evaporates and mushrooms begin to brown, about 10 minutes.
  • Add onions. Sauté, adjusting heat as necessary, until onions are soft and entire mixture is golden brown but not burned, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly.
  • Using a food processor or a knife, finely chop mushroom-onion mixture, then transfer to a large bowl. Add grated cheeses, cilantro, oregano and coriander. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
  • Place a large nonstick or well-seasoned skillet over medium heat, and add remaining 2 tablespoons vegetable oil. While pan heats, place a large spoonful of mushroom-cheese mixture into center of a tortilla, and fold tortilla in half to make a half-moon. Place filled tortilla in preheated skillet and cook, turning once, until tortilla is nicely browned on both sides and cheese is melted. Repeat to make 8 filled tortillas. Serve immediately.

I love that these quesadillas are made with whole wheat tortillas. It makes them a little bit healthier, but they're still just as delicious.

I added some chopped spinach to the filling and it was delicious! I also used a whole wheat tortilla and it was still crispy and flavorful.
