- Bell peppers – 1 cup (used both yellow and red)
- Mushrooms – 2 cups ( sliced)
- Butter – 3 tbsp
- Olive oil – 1 tbsp

- Cheese –1 ½ cup (shredded)
- Chilli powder – 1 ½ tsp
- crushed pepper – ½ tablespoon
- Sour cream - to garnish
- Spring onions - to garnish

Instructions
- Onion-Pepper preparation: Slice the onion and pepper into thin strips. Heat the olive oil in a wide pan, add the onions and a dash of salt and sauté them for 4-5 minutes over medium heat or until it gets soft. Then add the peppers and sauté them for 5 minutes until it becomes kind of roasted outside and soft. Add the chili powder and crushed pepper. Cook for five minutes. Switch off and Keep it aside.
- Mushroom preparation: Clean the same pan by wiping with a paper towel. Add one tablespoon of butter and add the mushrooms. Sauté them until it become soft. Keep it aside. Add the onion pepper that we kept aside on top of it. Give a stir and switch off.
- Tortilla plating preparation: Place one tortilla; keep some cheese on top of it, then some mushroom onion pepper. Then place some cheese on top of that and another tortilla on top of it. Arrange them all and keep aside.
- Final step: Heat a medium skillet on the stove over medium heat. Place one quesadilla preparation into the pan. If you have bigger one like this, you can cook like this. So, cook them for few minutes, and then flip carefully with a spatula. Cook for two minutes and switch off. Let the quesadillas cool on a cutting board for a few minutes, and then slice each quesadilla into four slices using a pizza cutter or a very sharp knife. Garnish with sour cream, spring onions and coriander.
Notes

4. You need to put cheese on the bottom and top of the onion-pepper-mushroom preparation for it to stick between tortillas.
