    If the site of that quesadilla doesn't make you drool, then you have got to be numb my friend. I can't stress how delicious the combo of spicy mushrooms with gooey cheese is. Make a large batch of these and enjoy movie night with your family. You will not be disappointed!

    Italian Mushroom Quesadilla

    This Italian seasoned mushroom stuffing has a chewy texture, lots of spices, and seasoned flavor. Pair it with a bowl of soup or your favorite salad.

    I am a sucker for quesadillas. It's a favorite food. Especially when paired with quesadilla sauces. Some of my favorite quesadilla sauces include La Victoria, Trader Joe's Habanero Sauce, and obviously fresh salsa! But these jalapeno mushroom quesadillas need no sauce-trust.


    The crunch of bell peppers and spice of chili peppers in this combo goes well Plus the mixture is quick to make and serves as a great appetizer, lunch, or even dinner. Gather the ingredients (you most likely already have) and make these TODAY!

    What kind of tortilla to use for Italian Quesadilla?

    Any flour tortilla tastes great with this recipe. If you want to try healthier options, then be sure to check out my favorite by Siete. There are plenty of other options to choose from these days at the grocery store. Want to try homemade versions? Give my carrot roti a try!


    Mushrooms for Italian Mushroom Quesadilla?

    White button or cremini mushrooms work great for this mushroom quesadilla recipe. The texture seems to have the right amount of chewyness to give it a bite while enjoying the flavors of the peppers.


    What type of peppers to use?

    Green bell peppers are my favorite and I love to use them for this recipe. For photography reasons, I used red. Whatever you have on hand will work though. When it comes to spicy peppers, I highly recommend either jalapeno or serrano. Making these a total of 1000+ times, I can definitely say using anything spicier will alter the enjoyment of the quesadilla stuffing. And that my friends, is coming from a true spice lover!

    Spinach Mushroom Quesadillas

    If you decide to add fresh chopped baby spinach to these mushroom quesadillas, then be sure to add just a handful and nothing more. The liquids that release from fresh raw spinach can make them soggy. To prevent this, you can cook fresh spinach with the mushrooms for this Italian mushroom quesadilla recipe.


    Let's talk cheese recommendations!

    Avoid using the normal everyday cheese we all tend to buy for this recipe. You know, mexican blend, colby jack, etc. These options here will make any cheese quesadilla much more flavorful, but particularly for this Italian Mushroom Quesadilla.

    • A blend of gruyere and white cheddar is my favorite. Luckily, it is readily available at Trader Joes!
    • White cheddar
    • Monterey Jack
    • Mozarella

    LOOK AT THAT CHEESE PULL!
