Mushroom and Goat Cheese Quesadilas

Ingredients:

• 2 tsp. extra-virgin olive oil
• 1 small Vidalia onion or other sweet onion, thinly sliced
• 2 garlic cloves minced
• 1 jalapeno pepper, seeded and minced
• 1 (10 oz.) package cremini mushrooms
• 1 (3 1/2 oz.) package sliced shiitake mushrooms
• 1/2 tsp. salt
• 1/4 tsp. freshly ground black pepper
• 2 tbsp. chopped fresh cilantro
• 1/2 cup crumbled reduced-fat goat cheese
• 1/4 cup reduced-fat cream cheese, softened
• 4 (7-inch) whole wheat flour tortillas
• 1/2 cup fat-free salsa

Makes 4 Servings (1quesadilla and 2 tablespoons salsa per serving)

1. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion, garlic, and jalapeno and cook, stirring frequently, until softened, about 4 minutes. Add mushrooms, salt  and black pepper; cook, stirring, until mushrooms are softened, 6-8 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in cilantro. 
2. Meanwhile, preheat broiler and spray large baking sheet with nonstick spray. Combine goat cheese and cream cheese in a small bowl. 
3. Spread 1 tablespoon cheese mixture onto each tortilla. Spoon one-fourth of mushroom mixture onto bottom half of each tortilla; fold top over filling. Place quesadillas on baking sheet. Broil until tops are browned, 1-2 minutes. Flip over and cook until browned and cheese is melted, 1-2 minutes. Serve with salsa.

Note: This recipe appears in the WW Tastier that Takeout Cookbook. If you're craving fast food or Mexican food, put down the phone and put down the car keys. You can make these delicious treats at home in 30 minutes or less. These quesadillas are very filling with the vegetables and cheeses. If you don't have cream cheese available, use shredded Mexican cheese and the quesadillas will still be delicious. I also highly recommend adding a touch of ground cumin to these quesadillas for more flavor.
