Oaxaca Mushroom & Cheese Quesadillas

(6 servings)

 

Ingredients:

1 tbsp. Corn Oil

1 tbsp. Unsalted Butter

½ cup White Onion, diced

1 medium Jalapeno Pepper, seeded & diced

2 cloves Fresh Garlic, minced

1 lb. Mushrooms, thinly sliced (white or baby bello)

2 tsp. Kosher Salt

1½ cups Shredded Monterey Jack Cheese

12 (5-6 inch) Corn Tortillas

as needed Salsa (your favorite) for topping

Directions:

In a large sauté pan over medium-high heat melt butter and oil together.  Add the onion and cook until soft and translucent (3-5 minutes).  Now add pepper and garlic and heat until fragrant.  Stir in mushrooms and cook about 5 minutes more.  Next add salt and cook until mixture is moist but not liquidy.  Heat tortillas in a large skillet or grill top for about 20 seconds.  Place a tbsp. or two of mushroom mixture on half of each tortilla.  Top that with a tbsp. or two of cheese.  Fold over tortillas to form half-moon and press down.  Grill each side for about 2 minutes or until cheese melts and tortillas brown slightly.  Cut in half or thirds and serve on a platter with salsa.

Note:               If you can find Oaxaca Cheese use it in

                        place of the Monterey Jack.
