    Love Dominos Taco Mexicana? Then you will love this recipe too. Dominos Taco Mexicana is made with bean patty and spicy harissa sauce. I will soon share the recipe for the same, but why not try this quicker version first? Cheesy Potato Mushroom Quesadilla will definitely become your new favorite.

    If you are using store-bought tortillas, this recipe hardly takes 10 minutes to prepare. If you want to make this recipe but not don't want to roll tortillas or if tortillas are not available in your local store, then you can even use chapati, pulka, naan, kulcha, paratha, or any other flatbread.

    My boys love cheese, potatoes, and mushrooms. I combined all of these to make quesadillas instead of their favorite pizza this time 🙂 Change is always good, right?

    All you need to do these quesadillas are some potatoes, onion, mushroom, shredded cheese, tomato sauce (pizza sauce), and any spicy sauce like sriracha or chili sauce for a burst of flavors.

    Since this travels well, it is a good recipe for potluck, picnic, or even kids lunch boxes and office lunchboxes.

    How to make Veg Taco Mexicana or Cheesy Potato Mushroom Quesadilla

    I first made tortillas and then started the filling. You can check my recipe on HOMEMADE TORTILLAS here. If not, use store-bought tortillas or any flatbread of your preference.

    In a pan on medium heat, add butter. Once the butter has melted, add onion and saute till translucent.

    Add finely chopped mushrooms and saute till it's cooked through. Add salt, curry powder, and switch off the flame. You can add chilie powder for heat if desired.

    In a bowl, add mashed potatoes and sauteed ingredients from above. Mix well and keep this aside.

    How to fill a quesadilla ?

    Take one tortilla at a time. Spread 1 teaspoon of chili sauce and pizza sauce as shown in the video. Add cheese as desired on one side of the tortilla, followed by a thick layer of potato mushroom mixture and some more cheese. Fold over the other side of the tortilla. Check video for more details

    How to cook quesadilla?

    In a pan on medium heat, add oil and place the tortilla. When it becomes golden on the underside and cheese has melted, flip and cook it on another side. You may drizzle oil if needed.

    Tips:

    Because I serve this especially to my kids, I have not added chile powder to the potato mixture. You are free to add it along with curry powder.

    You can be very flexible with the type of spices you add.

    Also, feel free to add bell pepper or capsicum, corn, black beans, or spinach while preparing the filling.

    Can I make quesadillas ahead of time?

    Yes. Just like burritos, you can assemble and freeze until ready to use. When needed, you can thaw and pan-fry them or even bake them.
