Sometimes, you just can't beat a good quesadilla at the end of a long day. These cheesy, flat delights are great whatever the filling, but caramelized onions and browned mushrooms make for a sweet, umami-bursting package. You'll top them with a spicy punch of jalapeño-cilantro relish, cooling avocado, and sour cream. Long day made short with these bad boys in your hands.
