Ingredients
  

1 cup fresh mushrooms, finely chopped

2 cups fresh spinach, loosely packed and roughly chopped

1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese

1 small onion, finely chopped

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 teaspoon olive oil

1/2 teaspoon ground cumin

1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional, for heat)

Salt and pepper to taste

4 small flour tortillas

Cooking spray or additional olive oil for grilling

Instructions
 

Sauté the Vegetables: In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and garlic, and sauté until the onion is translucent, about 3-4 minutes.

    Cook the Mushrooms: Add the finely chopped mushrooms to the skillet and cook for an additional 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms have released their moisture and are browned.

      Add Spinach: Stir in the chopped spinach, ground cumin, red pepper flakes (if using), and season with salt and pepper. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until the spinach has wilted. Remove the skillet from heat.

        Combine Cheeses: In a medium bowl, mix the sautéed vegetable mixture with the shredded mozzarella and crumbled feta cheese until well combined.

          Assemble Quesadilla Pockets: Place a tortilla on a flat surface. Spoon about 1/4 of the mushroom-spinach mixture onto one half of the tortilla. Fold the tortilla over to create a pocket. Repeat with the remaining tortillas and filling.

            Cook Quesadilla Pockets: Spray a non-stick skillet with cooking spray or add a drizzle of olive oil. Heat over medium heat. Place the filled tortillas in the skillet in a single layer (you may need to do this in batches). Cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy.

              Serve: Remove the quesadilla pockets from the skillet and let them cool slightly. Cut in half if desired, and serve warm with salsa, guacamole, or sour cream on the side.
