Mushroom Corn Truffle Quesadillas (gluten-free, healthy-ish, vegetarian)

Jump to Recipe

Delicious Mushroom Corn Truffle Quesadillas inspired by the mushroom quesadillas I had at Toloache in NYC!

For the longest time I was dreading telling my work that I would eventually have to move to California, part of me was in denial and I was scared of what may happen.

Rather than delaying the inevitable, I decided to tell my manager sooner rather than later so it would “hopefully” be a win-win for all of us. I gave him four months notice and told him whats up.

Luckily, things worked out in my favor and my transfer has been approved for Los Angeles. Yeah! 🙂

One word, relief! I can’t even begin to explain the relief. Leaving behind my family, friends, and my New York City, I feel like my blog and job are the only two constants in my life that I can actually take with me.

The transition will be a little easier since I’ll have a routine in place.

I am so grateful for my job and the people I work with. I think more often than not, the people you work with are far more important than the position itself. So, if anyone is thinking about moving, my approach may help.

And now onto this delectable Mushroom Corn Truffle Quesadillas which are inspired by the Quesadilla de Huitlacoche & Trufas I had at Toloache in NYC.  These quesadillas are ooey-gooey, loaded with mushrooms, flavored with truffle oil and manchego cheese. I hope you make this cause you will LOVE it!

Ingredients

  • <b>for the mushroom filling</b>
  • 1 tbsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
  • 1/2 tsp crushed red pepper
  • 2 cloves garlic chopped
  • 1 jalapeno deseeded & chopped
  • 3 poblano peppers chopped
  • 1/2 a medium onion sliced
  • 2 10 ounce packages organic baby bella mushrooms, sliced
  • salt to taste
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1/2 cup organic frozen corn run under warm water and drain
  • 1 tbsp + 1 tsp white truffle oil
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro roughly chopped
  • 1 stalk scallion chopped (the green portion)
  • </br>
  • <b>for the quesadillas</b>
  • almond flour tortillas I used Siete Foods, paleo approved
  • 1/4 - 1/3 cup manchego cheese per quesadilla
  • 2-3 dollops of filling per quesadillas
  • sprinkle crushed red pepper optional

Instructions

  • For the filling, begin by chopping the garlic, jalapeno and poblano peppers, slice the onion.</br>
  • Heat up a cast-iron skillet on medium heat, once hot, add oil and crushed red pepper.</br>
  • Once the pepper sizzles, add the garlic, jalapeno, poblano peppers and onion. Stir and cook for 5-7 minutes until golden brown.</br>
  • In the meantime, slice the mushrooms.</br>
  • This is how the peppers-onion mixture looks... should be slightly charred.</br>
  • Add the mushrooms, but don't season with salt just yet as we want the mushrooms to brown.</br>
  • While stirring in between, cook for roughly 15 minutes. After about 5 minutes the mushrooms will release water and cook down.</br>
  • Now grab your frozen corn and run it under warm water, Drain and set aside. Chop your cilantro.</br>
  • Grate the manchego cheese. Set aside.</br>
  • Once the mushrooms are done, this is what you should have.</br>
  • Add the corn. Stir for a minute.</br>
  • Add truffle oil.</br>
  • Add fresh cilantro and scallions. Stir.</br>
  • Mushroom filling is done.</br>
  • Now make the quesadillas, heat up a cast-iron skillet on low heat, once hot add oil or use a cooking spray. Add the almond flour tortilla, top with manchego cheese.</br>
  • Top with mushroom filling.</br>
  • Top with more cheese and crushed red pepper flakes.</br>
  • Fold.</br>
  • Use a heavy lid, press down. Cook for 3-4 minutes each side, check in between.</br>
  • Flip and it's nice and golden brown.</br>
  • Slice and enjoy!</br>

    Congrats! That’s so awesome that you are transferring and not having to find something new! You sure are right, our coworkers are such an important part of our lives. Having been surpluses after 20 years with the same company, the most o miss is my dad to day rhetoric with coworkers some of who became dear friends!

Heaven in a bowl. I can’t tell you how easy it i Heaven in a bowl. I can’t tell you how easy it is to make TOFU THAI RED CURRY - even if you can’t find kaffir lime leaves. There is no ginger and garlic in this recipe, and there is no need to sauté the veggies. Simply add raw veggies to a simmering coconut gravy and cook the veggies for a few minutes. Flavor the sauce and garnish. Tofu Thai Red Curry is a classic and is the perfect combo of sweet, spicy, and salty flavors. ⁠
