Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.
• Melt 2 tablespoons of the butter in a medium skillet over medium-high heat.

Season mushrooms with the chili powder and salt and cook for 1 minute. Stir in the chopped cilantro and set aside.

Fold the other half of the tortilla over the filling, to make a half-moon shape. Lay another sheet of foil over the quesadillas. Bake until the cheese melts, about 12 minutes.
