Mushroom Quesadillas

These Mushroom Quesadillas are a delightful twist on a classic Mexican favorite, combining earthy mushrooms with melted cheese in a crispy low-carb tortilla. Perfect for a quick lunch or dinner, they are both satisfying and nutritious.

Ingredients

• Mushrooms (sliced) - 200 grams
• Shredded cheese (cheddar or mozzarella) - 100 grams
• Low-carb tortillas - 2 pieces
• Olive oil - 1 tablespoon
• Garlic (minced) - 2 cloves
• Onion (finely chopped) - 50 grams
• Cumin powder - 1 teaspoon
• Salt - to taste
• Black pepper - to taste
• Fresh cilantro (chopped) - 2 tablespoons
• Sour cream (for serving) - 2 tablespoons (optional)

Steps

1. Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.
2. Add the chopped onions and minced garlic, sautéing until the onions are translucent (about 3-4 minutes).
3. Stir in the sliced mushrooms, cumin, salt, and pepper, cooking until the mushrooms are soft and browned (about 5-7 minutes).
4. Remove the mushroom mixture from the skillet and set aside.
5. In the same skillet, place one low-carb tortilla and sprinkle half of the shredded cheese on one half of the tortilla.
6. Add half of the mushroom mixture on top of the cheese and sprinkle with some chopped cilantro.
7. Fold the tortilla over to cover the filling and cook until the cheese is melted and the tortilla is golden brown (about 2-3 minutes per side).
8. Repeat the process with the second tortilla.
9. Cut the quesadillas into wedges and serve warm with sour cream if desired.
