These portobello mushroom quesadillas have it all. In between golden-brown flour tortillas await sautéed slices of steak-like portobello mushrooms and fresh bell pepper. It's seasoned with a chile-cumin rub that hits all the right smoky, earthy notes. Next to an easy salsa of black-eyed peas and corn, this is a meat-free meal that's supremely satisfying.

1 Prepare the Ingredients
Using a spoon, scoop out black undersides (gills) of portobello mushrooms. Cut mushrooms into 1/4" strips. Drain and rinse black-eyed peas. Place half the black-eyed peas on a clean cutting board and gently crush with bottom of a pan. Stem, seed, and slice red bell pepper into thin 1/4'' strips. Cut half the strips into 1/4" dice. Trim and thinly slice green onion on an angle, keeping white and green portions separate. Zest lime, halve, and juice.

2 Cook the Portobello Mixture
Heat 2 tsp. olive oil in a medium pan over medium heat. Add bell pepper strips and white portions of green onion to hot pan and cook until slightly softened, 2-3 minutes. Add portobello slices and half the seasoning blend (reserve remaining for vinaigrette) and cook, stirring often, until mushrooms are browned and tender, 4-5 minutes. Add crushed black-eyed peas and cook until heated through, 1 minute. Remove from burner, stir in 1 tsp. lime zest, and transfer mixture to a plate or bowl.
-
3 Build the Quesadillas
Place three tortillas on prepared baking sheet. Divide portobello mixture and half the cheese between tortillas. Top with remaining cheese and cover with remaining tortillas.
-
4 Bake the Quesadillas
Lightly coat top tortillas with cooking spray and cover with foil, then stack a second baking sheet on top. Place a casserole dish or heavy oven-safe pan on top of baking sheet to "press" quesadillas as they cook. Bake 15 minutes, remove from oven, and flip. Bake until tortillas are golden brown, 8-10 minutes. Transfer to cutting board and let rest 5 minutes. While quesadillas bake, make salsa and lime sour cream.
-
5 Make Salsa and Lime Sour Cream
Whisk together 1 Tbsp. lime juice (reserve 1 tsp. for lime sour cream), remaining seasoning blend, and 1 Tbsp. olive oil in a medium mixing bowl. Add whole black-eyed peas, corn, and diced bell pepper to vinaigrette and toss. Taste, and season with a pinch of salt and pepper if desired. Combine sour cream, 1 tsp. lime juice, and a pinch of salt in a small bowl.

6 Plate the Dish
Cut each quesadilla into quarters and serve on a plate. Place salsa and lime sour cream on side. Garnish quesadilla with green portions of green onions.
