I am a mushroom lover and really enjoyed this quesadilla. The chile powder is sensational with the feta. It made a new taste for me! I have an electric stove so I "puffed up" my tortilla in the pan. I liked that it didn't require oil. I was out of cilantro, so will try that next time. I almost used all the mushrooms for the one quesadilla - a real treat for me, since my family don't care too much for them. Roxygirl
