Once they are cooked, stir in some garlic until you get a beautiful aroma. As I mentioned, the chipotle seasoning definitely takes it to the next level. It’s a must addition that pairs really well with the mushrooms. 
2. Make mushroom quesadillas – Fill the tortillas one at a time. Place mushrooms and grated cheese on one side of the tortilla and fold over. You’ll need to cook both sides until they are crispy and browned.
