Onion, Mushroom, and Spinach Quesadillas


I love making these quesadillas. They are really easy and taste just as good without chicken as they do with. Also I love making these because there is so much good stuff in them you barely need to use any cheese in them unlike traditional quesadillas that have a ton of cheese.








Ingredients:
olive oil
salt
pepper
1 large onion, sliced
8 ounce mushrooms, stemmed and sliced
2 handfuls of baby spinach
2 tortillas (I use flourless sprout tortillas)
part skim shredded mozzarella cheese
cooking spray

In a large skillet on medium heat add about 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Add the onion, season with salt and pepper, and saute for about 5 minutes. Add the mushrooms and saute until all of the liquid from the mushrooms is gone and the mushrooms and onions start to brown (about 5 minutes). Add the spinach and cook until it is wilted (about 2 minutes).

Lay out the 2 tortillas and add about 1/2 cup of cheese on each of them. Add half of the onion mixture on half of one of the tortillas, then fold over side. Repeat on second tortilla.

On a large skillet over medium to high heat, spray cooking spray and put on quesadilla. Heat till cheese is melted and then flip to other side. Repeat to second quesadilla.

Note: If you want to add chicken, add pre cooked chicken after the mushrooms and warm, then add spinach.
