Lay 2 of the tortillas on a work surface.
Scatter ¼ cup of cheese on each tortilla.
Top equally with the mushroom mixture.
Scatter remaining cheese evenly over the tortillas.

Heat a large dry skillet and toast the quesadillas, 1 at a time, until light brown on both sides and the cheese is melted, 1 to 2 minutes on each side.
