I am a mushroom lover and really enjoyed this quesadilla. The chile powder is sensational with the feta. It made a new taste for me! I have an electric stove so I "puffed up" my tortilla in the pan. I liked that it didn't require oil. I was out of cilantro, so will try that next time. I almost used all the mushrooms for the one quesadilla - a real treat for me, since my family don't care too much for them. Roxygirl

Yum, Yum, Yum!!! This is a great dish for mushroom lovers (count me as one!!) I used a little less cilantro than called for, and a mexican-blend cheese (not a feta fan). This is perfect for a light summer, with a little chips & salsa on the side, and is very easy. It's in the rotation here, Jellyqueen! Thank you!
