Ingredients

Servings 6

1/4 cup corn oil
1/2 cup finely chopped white onion
3 large garlic cloves, minced
1 red jalapeño or Fresno chile, minced
12 ounces mixed oyster and white mushrooms, trimmed and very coarsely chopped
2 tablespoons finely chopped epazote or 1 teaspoon chopped oregano
Six 8-inch Corn Tortillas or 12 fresh corn tortillas
9 ounces Oaxaca or Monterey Jack cheese, shredded (3 cups)

Instructions

In a large skillet, heat the oil until shimmering. Add the onion, garlic and chile and cook over moderately high heat, stirring, until just softened, about 2 minutes. Add the mushrooms and a generous pinch of salt and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender and browned, about 10 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the epazote. Season with salt.
Heat a large cast-iron griddle over moderately high heat. Add 3 tortillas to the griddle and top each one with 1/2 cup of the cheese and 1/3 cup of the mushrooms. Cook until the cheese just starts to melt, about 2 minutes. Using a spatula, fold the tortillas in half, pressing lightly to form quesadillas. Cook, flipping once, until the tortillas are browned in spots and the cheese is melted, 2 to 3 minutes longer. Transfer to a work surface. Repeat with the remaining tortillas, cheese and mushrooms. Cut the quesadillas into wedges and serve.

Why this Mixed Mushroom-and-Cheese Quesadillas works for PCOS

Evening meals affect overnight insulin and morning blood sugar more than most women realise. Keeping dinner protein-forward and finishing eating at least 2-3 hours before bed gives your body time to clear glucose before the overnight fast, which improves morning fasting insulin readings.
