Join Chris Morocco in the Bon Appétit Test Kitchen as he prepares his 15-minute recipe for crispy mushroom quesadillas. When cooked whole and left to brown, the mushrooms’ edges get lacy and crisp, while their interiors relax and tenderize—they’re almost akin to braised and shredded meat.

Join Chris Morocco as he makes baked lunch nachos. Chris relies on some version of these lunch nachos at least once a week as he brainstorms what to feed his two young kids. It’s worth it to commit the formula to memory: a bag of chips, a can of refried beans, maybe some leftover meat or roasted veg from the night before, shredded cheese, and some kind of quickly cooked, spiced veg like cauliflower or brussels sprouts. It’s a lightning-fast lunch (or dinner) that can be tweaked to suit anyone’s preferences.
