Mushroom Quesadillas on Whole Wheat Tortillas!

O.K. I admit it! I have a love for Jennifer Aniston. What isn't there to like?  She is beautiful, in great shape, successful and has a killer wardrobe. When Oprah featured Dinner at Jennifer Aniston's: Jewel and Jill's Healthy Festive Menu, I knew I just had to try some of the recipes. The Quesadillas from the menu are wonderful and it is now a recipe I fix often.

Mushroom Quesadillas on Whole Wheat Tortillas

Serves: 4-6

Ingredients:

2 Tbsp. olive oil

8oz. assorted mushrooms, thinly sliced

1 sprig of thyme (I used dried thyme from a jar)

Kosher salt

4 whole wheat tortillas

4oz. assorted cheeses (cotija, jack, and ranchero) crumbled or grated

3 cups baby spinach (or less)

Cilantro for a garnish if desired

Heat oil in skillet on medium-high heat. Add mushrooms and thyme. Cook stirring mushrooms occassionally until golden and crispy 6-8 min. Season with salt and pepper.

In another skillet heat on medium-high. Sprinkle salt in pan (must be kosher or other coarse salt) and put 1 tortilla on top-the salt: this will keep the tortilla from sticking to skillet and help crisp it up without oil. Then add 1/4 of the cheese, spinach and mushrooms on bottom tortilla. Top with 2nd tortilla and cook until bottom is golden and crispy approx. 2 min. Flip and cook approx. 2 min. on other side.

Serve and enjoy.
