Directions of Vegetarian Quesadillas
- Put a large pan on medium/high heat. Once heated, lightly spray the pan with cooking spray and add mushrooms. Cook for 3 minutes, then add bell peppers. Cook until bell peppers are slightly tender (roughly 3 to 5 minutes), stirring occasionally. Add spinach. Cook until spinach wilts (less than 2 minutes). Stir in taco seasoning. Remove vegetables from the pan and place in a medium bowl.
- Turn the burner up to high heat. Lightly spray the pan with cooking spray and place 1 tortilla in the center. Wait 15 seconds, then sprinkle 1/2 cup of cheese onto the entire tortilla. When cheese melts, add half of the vegetables onto half of the tortilla. Using a spatula, fold the quesadilla and press with a spatula. Flip quesadilla and press with a spatula. Remove quesadilla from pan, place on the plate, and cut into 4 pieces.
- Repeat step 2.
