Ingredients

SERVINGS: Makes 4 quesadillas
  • 3 tablespoons butter, divided
  • 1 medium yellow onion, thinly sliced
  • 16 ounces mushrooms, sliced
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1/3 cup white wine
  • 5 ounces baby spinach
  • 8 (8-inch) flour tortillas
  • 8 ounces Monterey Jack cheese, grated

Preparation

Melt 2 tablespoons butter in large skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion and sauté for 5 minutes. Add sliced mushrooms, sprinkle with salt and pepper, and sauté for 2 minutes. Add wine and continue cooking until liquid is evaporated and the onions are translucent, 6–8 minutes. Reduce heat to medium-low and add spinach, stirring gently until wilted. Remove mixture from heat.

Heat waffle maker at a medium-high setting. Lightly butter one side of each tortilla. To assemble quesadillas, place a tortilla, butter-side down, on the bottom of the waffle maker. Layer the tortilla with grated cheese, the spinach-mushroom mixture, and then a little more cheese. Top with the second tortilla, butter-side up. Close the waffle maker and cook until the cheese melts and the tortilla is golden brown, about 4 minutes.

Repeat with remaining tortillas and filling. Slice quesadillas into four wedges and serve with salsa and sour cream.
