Description

Crispy, cheesy, and loaded with sautéed spinach and mushrooms, these baked quesadillas are a healthier, hands-off alternative to the traditional stovetop method. Perfect as a snack, appetizer, or easy dinner.


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 8 medium flour tortillas
  • 1 cup (100g) shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1 cup (100g) shredded cheddar cheese
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 2 cups (150g) fresh spinach, roughly chopped
  • 1 cup (100g) mushrooms, sliced
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • Salt and pepper to taste

For Serving:

  • Sour cream
  • Salsa or pico de gallo
  • Guacamole

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven:

    • Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with cooking spray.
  2. Prepare the Filling:

    • Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté for 2-3 minutes until softened.
    • Add the mushrooms and cook for 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until browned and tender.
    • Stir in the spinach and cook until wilted, about 1-2 minutes. Season with garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
  3. Assemble the Quesadillas:

    • Lay 4 tortillas on a clean surface. Evenly distribute the spinach-mushroom mixture over each tortilla.
    • Sprinkle mozzarella and cheddar cheese on top of the filling. Cover with the remaining tortillas and press gently.
  4. Bake the Quesadillas:

    • Place the assembled quesadillas on the prepared baking sheet. Lightly brush the tops with olive oil or spray with cooking spray for extra crispiness.
    • Bake for 8-10 minutes, then flip and bake for an additional 5-7 minutes, or until the tortillas are golden and crispy.
  5. Cut and Serve:

    • Let the quesadillas cool for 2-3 minutes, then slice into wedges. Serve warm with sour cream, salsa, or guacamole.

Notes

  • Add protein like shredded chicken, cooked bacon, or black beans for a heartier quesadilla.
  • Use whole wheat or gluten-free tortillas for a healthier option.
  • Leftovers can be stored in the fridge for up to 2 days and reheated in the oven or air fryer for crispiness.
