directions

  • In a medium skillet, heat the 2 tablespoons oil over medium heat.
  • Add the mushrooms and chiles, stir well, and cover.
  • Continue to stir every minute or so, replacing the cover each time, until the mushrooms have released a lot of juice, 4 to 5 minutes.
  • Uncover, and let briskly simmer until all the liquid has evaporated, about 3 minutes.
  • Taste and season with salt, usually about 1/4 teaspoon.
  • Add the cilantro.
  • Heat a well-seasoned or nonstick griddle or heavy skillet over medium heat.
  • Turn the oven on to its lowest setting.
  • One by one, make the quesadillas: Lightly brush 1 side of each tortilla with oil, then lay it oiled side down on the hot griddle.
  • Spread with about 1/4 cup of the cheese, leaving a 1/4-inch border all around.
  • Spoon about 3 tablespoons of the mushroom mixture down the center of the cheese-covered tortilla.
  • When the cheese begins to melt (but before the tortilla begins to crisp), place another tortilla on top and flip.
  • Cook, flipping the quesadilla every minute or so, until the cheese is completely melted and the tortilla crisps, about 3-5 minutes in all.
  • As each quesadilla is done, transfer it to a baking sheet and keep in a warm oven.
