Goat Cheese, Mushroom, Spinach, and Sun Dried Tomatoes Quesadillas

I really enjoy Thanksgiving weekend...having a "double weekend" and spending time with family is such a blessing.  This year, with all the kids having two families to visit for Thanksgiving, we decided to celebrate Thanksgiving on Saturday.  That left Tim and I with a quiet Thanksgiving and some non-traditional fare (so that we could celebrate with the traditional fare on Saturday.)

Tim and I really liked the taste of these Goat Cheese, Mushroom, Spinach and Sun Dried Tomato Quesadillas and it was fun to cook together as well.  I found this recipe on Taylor Made Market

Ingredients:

• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 1 cup mushrooms, sliced
• 9 ounces baby spinach
• 4 oz semisoft goat cheese
• 1/4 cup sundried tomatoes, chopped
• 2 cups mozzarella cheese
• 8 8 inch tortillas - your favorite kind, we used whole wheat
• Salsa

1. Heat the oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the mushrooms cook, stirring occasionally, until golden brown. Remove from pan. Add the spinach and 1 tablespoon water to the skillet; cook 2 minutes, or until spinach is just wilted. Remove from skillet and turn off heat.
2. Spread a quarter of the goat cheese on each tortilla and top with mushrooms, spinach and tomato & 1/2 cup mozzarella cheese. Lay another tortilla on top, press lightly. Heat the skillet and place the quesadillas in it; cook two minutes per side, or until golden brown and lightly crisp. Repeat.
3. Serve with Salsa

Enjoying the quesadillas - we made a meal of them, but they'd be a great appetizer
