Ingredients
Instructions
-
Roast the poblano peppers directly over the flame of a gas burner or under the broiler until the skin is charred and blistered, turning occasionally to ensure even roasting. Place the peppers in a bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and let steam for about 10 minutes. Peel off the charred skin, remove seeds, and slice into thin strips.
-
Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add diced onion and cook until softened and translucent, about 3-4 minutes. Add minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
-
Add sliced mushrooms to the skillet and sauté until they release moisture and begin to brown, about 5-7 minutes. Season with ground cumin, chili powder, salt, and pepper, stirring well to coat evenly.
-
Remove mushroom mixture from skillet and set aside. Wipe skillet clean with a paper towel.
-
Place a tortilla in the skillet over medium heat. Sprinkle a mix of Monterey Jack and cheddar cheese evenly over one half of the tortilla. Top with a portion of the mushroom mixture and some poblano pepper strips. Fold the other half of the tortilla over the filling to create a half-circle shape. Press gently with a spatula.
-
Cook the quesadilla for 2-3 minutes per side, or until the tortilla is golden and crispy and the cheese is melted.
-
Repeat with remaining tortillas and filling. Keep prepared quesadillas warm in a low oven while finishing the rest.
-
Slice cooked quesadillas into wedges and serve hot, garnished with fresh cilantro. Serve with sour cream and salsa on the side.
