For the last couple of weeks, I’ve listed Portobello Quesadillas on our weekly meal plan. A few people commented that these sounded really good, so I wanted to share the recipe. The original recipe came from Martha Stewart Everyday Food.
Grilled Portobello Quesadillas
3 Tbsp. olive oil
2 Tbsp. balsamic vinegar
salt and pepper
4 to 5 portobello mushrooms, trimmed and cleaned
4 tortillas
8 oz. cheese (I use a mix of cheddar & mozzarella)*
2 scallions, thinly sliced
- Heat grill to medium. In a small bowl, whisk together oil and vinegar; season with salt and pepper. Brush both sides of mushrooms with oil mixture; starting with stem side up, grill mushrooms under tender, 8 to 12 minutes, turning once. Remove from grill, slice 1/2 inch thick.
- Layer one half of each tortilla with cheese, scallions, mushroom slices, and then more cheese. Fold tortilla over filling. Cook the tortillas in a pan until cheese is melted.
- Optional: Top with avocado.
* Vegan option: Instead of dairy-based cheese, I use the Veggie Shred brand, and you can’t tell the difference. My husband usually has to ask because he can’t tell.
I am linking this recipe with the Recipe Edition of Works for Me Wednesday.

Sounds really yummy!
That sounds great! Thanks for the info on the veggie shred cheese, I’ve yet to find a cheese substitute that I actually like-I’ll have to try this!
@ RML~
They are yummy!

When I first did my little vegan experiment, my friend warned me about *non-dairy* cheeses — she said there was only one brand that tasted good — Veggie Shreds. Thanks to her, I’ve only tried veggie shreds. And I kid you not, my family cannot tell the difference!
Yum, thanks! I can’t do dairy right now; nice to have a cheese option. I do miss quesadillas. And imo, avocado is never “optional” -yum- lol!
I know what I’m having for dinner…thanks for the recipe. Sounds delicious!
@ Amy~
LOL — avocado is never “optional” around here, either.
@ Laurie~
Oh good — so glad the recipe looks good to you. Thanks for stopping by my blog.
We love quesadillas!! The kids and I have them at least twice a week in some form or another for lunch. I can’t wait to try these.
Sounds really good! We’ll have to try…
I love portabellas! These sound absolutely scrumptious!
YUM - LOVE quesadillas - they might just be one of the best creations ever….adding portobellos even better!
Veggie shreds are not vegan, it has casein (milk) . I was so disappointed after making a taco with it.
