Mushroom Quesadillas with Chipotle Crema

Quick easy and tasty mushroom quesadillas with spicy, smokey, cool and creamy chipotle crema.

Today, October 15, is National Mushroom day and do I ever have a tasty mushroom recipe for you today! Mushroom quesadillas with chipotle crema! These mushroom quesadillas are super easy to make where you pretty much just saute the mushrooms with some onion, place them in tortillas, along with plenty of cheese and then fry them until the tortillas are lightly golden brown and crispy and the cheese has melted! I always like for there to be a source of spicy heat with my quesadillas so I serve there mushroom quesadillas with a smokey chipotle crema that you can either drizzle on or serve it on the side for dipping!
