Ingredients
  

8 small flour tortillas

1 cup fresh spinach, chopped

1 cup mushrooms, finely diced (like cremini or button mushrooms)

1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

1/2 cup ricotta cheese

1 tablespoon olive oil

2 cloves garlic, minced

1/2 teaspoon ground cumin

1/2 teaspoon paprika

Salt and pepper to taste

Fresh cilantro or parsley, for garnish (optional)

Sour cream or salsa, for serving (optional)

Instructions
 

Sauté the Vegetables: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Add the diced mushrooms and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are browned and softened. Stir in the chopped spinach and continue cooking for another 2-3 minutes, until just wilted. Season with cumin, paprika, salt, and pepper. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.

    Combine the Filling: In a mixing bowl, combine the sautéed mushroom and spinach mixture with the ricotta and mozzarella cheeses. Mix well until all ingredients are thoroughly combined.

      Assemble the Quesadilla Pockets: Take a flour tortilla and place about 2 tablespoons of the filling mixture on one half of the tortilla. Fold the tortilla over to create a half-moon shape, pressing down gently to seal the edges. Repeat with the remaining tortillas and filling.

        Cook the Quesadillas: Lightly grease the skillet with a bit more olive oil over medium heat. Place the folded quesadilla pockets on the skillet (you might need to work in batches). Cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until the tortillas are golden brown and crispy, and the cheese is melted inside.

          Serve: Remove from the skillet and let cool for a minute. Cut each quesadilla pocket in half or serve whole. Garnish with fresh cilantro or parsley, and serve with a side of sour cream or salsa for dipping.
