Number Of Ingredients 15

1 tablespoon oil
1/2 cup onion, sliced
1 clove garlic
1/2 teaspoon cumin, toasted and ground
1 teaspoon chipotle chili powder
8 ounces mushrooms, sliced
salt and pepper to taste
1 handful cilantro, chopped
10 spears asparagus, trimmed
2 ounces goat cheese, room temperature, crumbled
1 cup monterey jack cheese, room temperature, grated
4 (6 inch) tortillas
salsa verde
sour cream
cilantro

Steps:

  • Heat the oil in a pan over medium heat.
  • Add the onions and saute until tender, about 5-7 minutes.
  • Add the garlic, cumin and chipotle chili powder and saute until fragrant, about a minute.
  • Add the mushrooms, season with salt and pepper and cook until they release their water, the liquid evaporates and the mushrooms start to caramelize, about 15-20 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, toss the asparagus spears in the oil, place them in a single layer on a baking sheet and roast in a preheated 400F oven until tender, about 10-15 minutes.
  • Remove the mushrooms from the heat and mix in the cilantro.
  • Cut the asparagus into 1 inch pieces and mix them into the mushrooms.
  • Heat a touch of oil in a clean pan over medium heat.
  • Place a tortilla into the pan, swirl it around in the oil, top it with some of the mushroom and asparagus mixture, some of the cheeses and another tortilla and cook until the cheese has melted and the tortillas are golden brown, about 2-4 minutes per side. (Tip: To easily flip a quesadilla, place a plate over it in the pan, flip the pan, lower the plate and slide the quesadilla back into the pan.)
  • Cut the quesadilla into 6 pieces and serve with salsa, sour cream and a garnish of cilantro.
