Cheese and mushroom quesadillas recipe is a versatile, cheap and quick dinner recipe. They are great with salsa and guacamole. For a better taste, choose only fresh tortillas. Fresh tortillas usually soft and pliable, you can pick up the package and toss lightly in your hand, bend them back and forth. If the tortillas bend easily, then they are fresher than those that break and crack.
