Ingredients

• 1 whole bell pepper, sliced
• 1 whole onion, sliced
• 1 cup mushrooms, sliced
• 1 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
• 1/2 tsp Cumin Powder
• 1/2 tsp Chili Powder
• 4 whole flour tortillas

Instructions

1. Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add a little oil to prevent sticking.
2. Add the sliced bell pepper, onion, and mushrooms to the skillet. Sauté the vegetables for about 5 to 7 minutes until they are soft and lightly browned.
3. Sprinkle half a teaspoon each of cumin powder and chili powder over the sautéed vegetables. Stir well to evenly coat the vegetables with the spices.
4. Place one tortilla in the skillet. Sprinkle a quarter of the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the tortilla.
5. Spoon half of the vegetable mixture evenly over the cheese.
6. Cover with another tortilla, pressing down slightly to set everything in place.
7. Cook for about 2 to 3 minutes, or until the bottom tortilla is golden brown.
8. Using a spatula, carefully flip the quesadilla over and cook for another 2 to 3 minutes or until the second side is golden brown and the cheese inside has melted.
9. Transfer the cooked quesadilla to a cutting board. Let it sit for a minute before slicing into wedges.
10. Serve the quesadilla wedges warm, accompanied by salsa or guacamole. Repeat the process to make the remaining quesadillas.
