How to Make Our Low-Carb Spinach Mushroom Quesadillas
Step 1: Cook the Vegetables
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add mushrooms and cook until softened and lightly browned.
Stir in garlic, spinach, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Cook until the spinach wilts and excess moisture evaporates.
Step 2: Assemble the Quesadillas
Place a low-carb tortilla on a clean surface. Sprinkle mozzarella and cheddar evenly over one half of the tortilla.
Top with the spinach mushroom mixture, then fold the tortilla over.
Step 3: Crisp Until Golden
Cook the quesadillas in a lightly greased skillet over medium heat for 2–3 minutes per side until crispy and golden brown.
The cheese should be fully melted and the tortillas lightly toasted.
Step 4: Slice and Serve
Allow the quesadillas to rest for 1 minute before slicing into wedges. Serve warm with your favorite low-carb toppings.
