Easy Chicken-Mushroom Quesadillas - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    1 tablespoon canola oil
    1 large onion, chopped (about 2 cups)
    8 ounces white button mushrooms (about 3 cups)
    3 garlic cloves, minced
    2 cups cooked chopped chicken breasts (1 breast half)
    1 teaspoon chili powder
    2 cups baby spinach leaves
    1/2 teaspoon salt
    1/4 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
    4 (10 inch) whole wheat tortillas
    1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
    1/2 cup salsa
    1/4 cup reduced-fat sour cream
Preparation
    Heat the oil in a large skillet over a medium heat. Add the onions and mushrooms and cook until they begin to brown, 5 to 7 minutes.
    Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute more.
    Add chicken, and chili powder, and stir until incorporated.
    Add spinach, salt and pepper and cook until spinach is wilted, about 2 minutes.
    Lay 1 tortilla on a flat work surface and sprinkle with 1/4 cup shredded cheese. Spoon 1/2 chicken and vegetable mixture on top of cheese, then top with an additional 1/4 cup cheese. Top with another flour tortilla.
    Heat a large nonstick skillet with cooking spray over medium heat. Carefully place 1 quesadilla in pan and cook 3 minutes. Using a large spatula, gently flip quesadilla and cook an additional 3 minutes until lightly browned and cheese is melted. Repeat with second quesadilla.
    Slice each quesadilla into quarters. Place 2 quarters on a plate with 1 tablespoon sour cream and 2 tablespoons salsa.
