Description

Caramelized onions, savory mushrooms, spinach, and Gruyere-stuffed quesedillas are complemented by a refreshing, creamy dipping sauce.

Ingredients

  • FOR THE QUESADILLAS:
  • 1 whole Small Yellow Onion, Chopped
  • 3 Tablespoons Olive Oil, Divided
  • ½ teaspoons Sea Salt
  • 8 ounces, weight Mushrooms, Sliced
  • 1 cup (packed) Fresh Spinach Leaves
  • 4  Corn Tortillas (check Labels To Ensure These Are Gluten Free)
  • ¼ cups Shredded Gruyere Cheese
  • ¼ cups Shredded Mozzarella Cheese
  • FOR THE SAUCE:
  • 6 ounces, weight Plain Greek Yogurt
  • 1 Tablespoon Milk
  • 1 Tablespoon Fresh Squeezed Lime Juice
  • 1 clove Garlic, Minced
  • ¼ teaspoons Ground Cumin
  • 3 dashes Hot Sauce
  • ½ cups Fresh Cilantro Leaves, Chopped
  • Salt To Taste

Preparation

For the quesadillas:
1. Heat a large skillet over medium high heat. Add sliced onion to the dry pan and cook, stirring frequently, until they have a deep brown color (about 5 minutes). Add 1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil and the sea salt and cook for another 5 minutes or until onions have softened completely. Remove to a plate.
2. Add the remaining 1 1/2 tablespoons oil to the pan along with the sliced mushrooms. Cook until softened and brown. Add spinach leaves and stir until wilted, about 1-2 minutes. Remove mushrooms and spinach and set on a plate close to the stove.
3. Meanwhile, in another skillet, grill one side of each of the 4 tortillas then remove to a plate. (Feel free to butter them first, but I’ve found this isn’t necessary if you’re using a nonstick pan.)
4. Place 1 tortilla (ungrilled side down) into the skillet. Top with half the cheese and toppings then a second tortilla (ungrilled side facing up). Grill until bottom tortilla is browned then flip and grill until the second tortilla is browned and cheese is fully melted.
5. Repeat with the second quesedilla then serve immediately with cilantro lime dipping sauce.

For the sauce:
Combine all ingredients together. Season with salt. Thin with additional milk, hot sauce, or lime juice, if necessary.

I tend to make my Quesadillas very simple, cheese and more cheese. But this was a great way to add a little nutrition, and it made the meal more filling.
