JAMAICAN JERK PORTOBELLO MUSHROOM QUESADILLAS

Steps:

• Saute thinly sliced mushrooms in a teaspoon or so of EVOO. Throw in some jerk seasoning, kosher salt and cayenne -- if you have very fresh, potent cayenne, be careful! Taste to check seasonings. This is very important--without proper seasoning, this recipe will come out bland.
• Mushrooms love to soak up oil; be prepared to add a bit more if they start to stick.
• Saute until mushrooms are limp and slightly shrunk from the heat and salt.
• MEanwhile, prep quesadillas by shredding cheese onto three tortillas.
• Arrange one-fourth of the mushrooms on each cheese-covered tortilla.
• Put the quesadillas together and fry over medium head in EVOO, flipping at least once.
• Enjoy with your favorite hot sauce drizzled on top. Guacamole would also be great!
