BEST QUESADILLAS EVER-easy and healthy too :)

Easy Chicken and Mushroom Quesadillas

1/2 an onion
8 oz mushrooms (cleaned and chopped)
3 cloves garlic
2 to 3 chicken breasts (cut into chunks)
1 teaspoon of each (cumin, chili powder, dried oregano)
2 cups spinach leaves (whole or cut into ribbons)
(We’ve even put in roasted red peppers/black olives, jalapenos etc...Whatever you're in the mood for)
tortillas
shredded cheese
sour cream and salsa if preferred

In about 1 tbls. canola or olive oil sauté onions and mushrooms till brown.  Add garlic and sauté just a minute or so, add chicken and spices, stir and cook till chicken is no longer pink inside.  Stir in spinach, stir in salt and pepper to taste.  Cook till spinach is wilted.  In a pan warm a tortilla, layer with cheese, some of the mixture, then cheese and another tortilla; flip so each side is slightly brown.

Enjoy
