A satisfying, umami-loaded version of your favorite quesadilla. A variety of mushrooms including cremini and oyster mushrooms are seared until caramelized and tender. For the perfect cheesy layer, Chef Akhtar adds a mix of Cheddar and Oaxaca cheeses, then pairs the golden, toasted quesadilla with the perfect accompaniments: pickled red onions, Mexican crema, and Chef's special chipotle sauce.
