Print Recipe
Servings: 4 quesadillas
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons butter (+ extra for cooking the quesadillas)
- 2 shallots (diced)
- 8 ounces brussels sprouts (trimmed and thinly sliced)
- 8 ounces mushrooms (thinly sliced (any variety - we enjoyed shiitake in this dish))
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- ½ teaspoon oregano
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 2 ½ cups Monterey Jack cheese (shredded)
- ½ cup feta cheese (crumbled)
- 8 whole-wheat tortillas (store-bought or homemade)
Instructions
- In a large skillet, melt the 2 tablespoons butter over medium-low heat. Add shallots and sliced sprouts to the pan and cook, stirring occasionally, until they begin to brown, 3 - 5 minutes.
- Add the mushrooms and spices to the pan and cook for another 3 - 5 minutes, until the sprouts are tender when pierced with a fork.
- In a large bowl, combine the two cheeses. Evenly divide the cheeses and filling among four of the tortillas and top with the remaining tortillas.
- For each quesadilla, spread a little butter on top and then flip it over into the skillet set on medium heat (use the same skillet as used for the veggies or a large griddle set on 375° F). Spread a little butter on the top before flipping to cook the other side. Cook both sides until golden brown and the cheese is melted on the inside.
- Serve with sour cream, lime wedges, and fresh cilantro.
Notes
For serving: Sour cream, lime wedges, and fresh cilantro

I made these last night, and they were fantastic! My husband said he would eat them everyday. Only substitution was that I don't eat shallots (or anything in the onion family), so I left them out completely and added black beans. I'm eating the leftovers for lunch right now, and it's just as good.

I have never liked brussels sprouts until I had them in a blue apron recipe recently. These sound really good - I love quesadillas, so filling and easy to make. It makes me miss my George Foreman grill - I used to make quesadillas & paninis on it, so easy because it would cook from both sides so no need for flipping!
Megan says
That is such a great idea about the George Foreman grill!

We love quesadillas! Almost anything goes in the filling! Thanks for the new idea of using brussel sprouts.
Chryshelle says
I bet this would be delicious with spinach in place of the sprouts, too! Thanks for the recipe. Can't wait to try it.

Will the feta cheese really make a big difference if I leave it out? Pregnant and can't have feta!

Hi. You could switch it out for another rich cheese.
