  • Olive oil spray (optional, for brushing)
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 3 cups fresh spinach, roughly chopped

Directions:

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).

  • Lightly brush one side of each tortilla with olive oil spray (optional) and place them on a baking sheet, oiled side down.
  • Distribute half of the mozzarella and cheddar cheeses evenly over half of each tortilla.
  • Layer with spinach and mushrooms, then top with the remaining cheeses.
  • Fold the other half of each tortilla over the filling to create a half-moon shape.
  1. Bake the Quesadillas:
  • Bake in the preheated oven for about 6 minutes.
  • Carefully flip each quesadilla and bake for an additional 6-7 minutes, until the cheese is melted and the tortillas are golden brown.
