    | 1. In a medium skillet, heat the 2 tablespoons oil over medium heat. | 2. Add the mushrooms and chiles, stir well, and cover. | 3. Continue to stir every minute or so, replacing the cover each time, until the mushrooms have released a lot of juice, 4 to 5 minutes. | 4. Uncover, and let briskly simmer until all the liquid has evaporated, about 3 minutes. | 5. Taste and season with salt, usually about 1/4 teaspoon. | 6. Add the cilantro. | 7. Heat a well-seasoned or nonstick griddle or heavy skillet over medium heat. | 8. Turn the oven on to its lowest setting. | 9. One by one, make the quesadillas: Lightly brush 1 side of each tortilla with oil, then lay it oiled side down on the hot griddle. | 10. Spread with about 1/4 cup of the cheese, leaving a 1/4-inch border all around. | 11. Spoon about 3 tablespoons of the mushroom mixture down the center of the cheese-covered tortilla. | 12. When the cheese begins to melt (but before the tortilla begins to crisp), place another tortilla on top and flip. | 13. Cook, flipping the quesadilla every minute or so, until the cheese is completely melted and the tortilla crisps, about 3-5 minutes in all. | 14. As each quesadilla is done, transfer it to a baking sheet and keep in a warm oven. | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
