*Sizzling Sautés Mushroom Kits are high in vitamin D. Monterey Mushrooms® "High Vitamin D" Mushrooms will provide you with 400 IU's of vitamin D per 3 oz serving, which is 50% of the Daily Value as recommended by the FDA.
Instructions
- Heat a tbsp of olive oil in a medium skillet over medium heat. Add the mushrooms to the saucepan. Cook for about 10 minutes, until slightly tender. Remove from heat.
- Add the Fajita sauce packet and stir until the mushrooms are evenly coated about 1-2 minutes. Set aside.
- In a large saucepan, add beef, onion, and garlic, and continue to cook for 10 minutes or until ground beef is cooked through.
- Meanwhile, combine all the secret sauce ingredients in a bowl. Set aside.
- Place one tortilla in the bottom of a dry grill pan. Sprinkle with cheese, red onion, tomatoes, and dill pickles. Spoon on the meat mixture and the saucy Fajita mushrooms. Top with the second tortilla. If your grill pan comes with a Panini press (lid) place preheated press on top of the tortilla. If no press is available, carefully flip the quesadilla over using a spatula.
- Remove from the skillet and cut into wedges. Serve topped with fresh shredded lettuce and secret burger sauce.
Note:
This recipe works really well without the meat as well. Feel free to omit the ground beef in step 3 to make this a meatless meal.
