Sautéed mushrooms give a rich meaty bite to these quesadillas. Spicy chipotle cream and jalapeño peppers provide a great kick. The goat cheese holds all the ingredients together in the quesadilla. Tortillas can burn easily so you want to be sure to keep a close eye on them when cooking. They just need a few minutes on each side. Cook in two batches if necessary. Cover to keep warm. Top them with sour cream, guacamole, shredded lettuce or extra cheese. Serve this tasty dish with a tossed salad.
