This spinach and mushroom quesadillas recipe is quick and easy to make.

Fast and Easy Quesadilla recipe

I accidentally bought too many tortillas, so I have declared this week Quesadilla Week. Fortunately, we love quesadillas! They are fast, easy, and use melted cheese as glue. You can’t get much better than that. When we are in a hurry, I make quesadillas in the microwave, but when I have time I prefer the awesome crunchiness of the tortillas when cooked in a skillet.

I have a large electric skillet that allows me to make 3 -4 quesadillas at a time. If I am just making them for the boys for lunch, I use my large stainless steel skillet on the stove.

    Thanks for the great reminder! We haven’t had quesadillas for quite a while and I love them too. Mushrooms and cheese… so hard to beat!

    Love quesadillas. I live in Honduras…country of tortillas. This sounds like a winner. Thank you for the recipe.

    We may have met by chance…but we become friends by choice.

Welcome. I'm Alea!

On Premeditated Leftovers I share simple recipes made with whole foods, practical shopping tips, time saving techniques, and meal planning strategies. I also share tips for minimizing food waste, so more of the food that is purchased ends up on the table.

While volunteering as a budget counselor, I realized that food is the element of most people’s budgets where they have the greatest control. I set out to develop low-cost recipes from scratch to prove it’s possible to create delicious meals on a limited budget. Eating well while spending less is about more than just creating recipes using inexpensive ingredients; it’s about creatively combining ingredients so you don’t feel deprived and are inspired to stick to your budget.
