Spinach, Mushroom, and Thyme Quesadillas with Smoked Gouda

Heyyyyy lookie here! I did ‘fusion’ with this fun and hip Spinach, Mushroom, and Thyme Quesadillas with Smoked Gouda. YUM!

Spinach, Mushroom, and Thyme Quesadillas with Smoked Gouda

If you don’t know what I mean, fusion is combining different cuisines – in this case, a kinda-sorta French filling in definitively Mexican packaging. …And this was absolutely UH-MAY-ZING. Soooo tasty. This combo of smokey Gouda cheese, beefy mushrooms, and the hint of herby thyme, all in a crispy quesadilla is outstanding!

IMO (see, an urban acronym –  I’m hip!), corn tortillas actually make the best quesadillas. I absolutely love the toasty flavor corn tortillas get, and it magically happens with just a little cooking spray. So if you haven’t tried them, please do …you will not regret it. I’m sitting here typing this, picking spinach out of my teeth cuz I just ate this Spinach, Mushroom, and Thyme Quesadillas with Smoked Gouda awesomeness and I can’t get over how good these flavors are!
