Ingredients
  

8 small flour tortillas

1 cup fresh spinach, finely chopped

1 cup mushrooms, finely diced

1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

1/2 cup ricotta cheese

1 clove garlic, minced

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 teaspoon chili powder

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Cooking spray or additional olive oil for frying

Optional: Sour cream and salsa for dipping

Instructions
 

In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Once hot, add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute, or until it becomes fragrant and slightly golden.

    Add the finely chopped mushrooms to the skillet. Cook them for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they release their moisture and begin to turn golden brown.

      Next, stir in the chopped spinach. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, or until the spinach is wilted and reduced in volume. Sprinkle in the chili powder, salt, and black pepper, mixing everything well. Remove the skillet from heat and allow the mixture to cool slightly.

        In a mixing bowl, combine the cooled mushroom-spinach mixture with both the ricotta and shredded mozzarella cheese. Use a spatula to mix thoroughly until the filling is uniform and creamy.

          Take one tortilla and lay it flat on a clean surface. Spoon a generous amount of the mushroom-spinach filling onto one half of the tortilla. Carefully fold the other half over, forming a pocket. Press down gently around the edges to help seal it.

            Repeat this process with the remaining tortillas and filling until all are filled and folded.

              Preheat a skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease it with cooking spray or a drizzle of olive oil to prevent sticking.

                Place the filled quesadilla pockets onto the skillet, cooking them for about 3-4 minutes on each side. Aim for a golden brown and crispy exterior. Depending on the size of your skillet, you may need to cook them in batches.

                  Once all the quesadilla pockets are cooked, transfer them to a cutting board. Slice each pocket in half for easy handling and serving.
