Notes
The oil is totally optional. My family didn't even notice when I stopped using it. Save yourself a few calories and skip it if you like!
If you buy baby spinach, you can get away without chopping it first. It will be a little piled up, but when you fold the second half of the tortilla over, just smush it down a little. It will also cook down once it's in the oven.
You don't have to use 2 different cheeses. You can use 2 cups of mozzarella or 2 cups of cheddar or another cheese or combo of cheeses!
Use different vegetables to change this recipe up! Many veggies you will want to cook a bit first before using them in the quesadilla. Cooking them for a few minutes in the microwave usually does the trick.
I used regular flour tortillas, but you can experiment with different tortillas to find the ones your family likes best!
If you are usually a little short on time, save yourself a little trouble and buy your mushrooms pre-sliced.
