10 10 20

Ingredients

  • 1 pound fresh mushrooms, chopped
  • 2 to 3 jalapeno peppers, seeded and chopped
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1/4 cup minced fresh cilantro
  • Vegetable oil
  • 8 flour tortillas (7 inches)
  • 2 cups (8 ounces) shredded Monterey Jack cheese
  • Salsa and guacamole, optional

Directions

  • In a large skillet, saute mushrooms and jalapenos in olive oil until tender and liquid is nearly evaporated. Add cilantro; cook and stir for 1 minute. Remove from the heat.
  • Heat 1 tablespoon vegetable oil in a large skillet; add one tortilla. Top with 1/2 cup cheese, 1/3 cup mushroom mixture and another tortilla. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side or until lightly browned. Repeat with remaining tortillas, cheese and mushroom mixture, adding more oil as needed. Serve with salsa and guacamole if desired. Yield: 4 servings.

Tasty! I made them ahead of time (during nap time LOL) refridgerated then just put them in the oven for @ 10 - 15 min at 350. Because of this I omited doing the quesadillas in the frying pan.
