Spicy Pork/Chicken Mexican Quesadillas

1/2 lb lean ground pork/chicken
1/4 cup diced onion
1 minced garlic clove
1/2 cup sliced mushrooms
1/4 tsp dried oregano
1/4 tsp ground cumin
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
1/4 cup grated cheddar cheese
4 flour tortillas
1/2 minced jalapeno chili
1/2 cup salsa

Cook the meat, onion, mushrooms and garlic until browned in a nonstick skillet over a medium high heat. Drain off any drippings and place the mixture in a bowl. Stir the oregano, cumin, cilantro and jalapeno into the meat mixture. Wipe out the skillet with a paper towel and heat over a med. high heat.

Place one tortilla in the skillet and top with half the pork mixture. Sprinkle 2 Tbsp of cheese over the pork mixture and top with another tortilla. Cook on one side until browned, pressing down with a spatula or your hand. This will take 2 or 3 minutes. Turn it over to brown the other side.

Remove to a cutting board and cut into 8 wedges with a pizza cutter. Repeat the process, serve with salsa.
