Quesadillas are a popular Mexican dish that are often enjoyed for lunch or dinner. This recipe gives a twist to the classic quesadilla by adding delicious and flavorful mushrooms, and a pinch of black truffle salt.

The combination of the cheese, mushrooms, and truffle salt make this quesadilla a satisfying and tasty meal that can be enjoyed any day of the week.
