Add tempeh and cook 2 minutes more, or until heated through.


Remove skillet from heat.


Add cilantro and toss to coat. Set aside to let cool, about 10 minutes.


Preheat a grill for medium heat.


Lightly brush 6 of the tortillas on one side with oil.


Place tortillas, oil side down, on a large nonstick baking sheet.


Divide mushroom mixture equally among the tortillas and top with cheese, distributing to equal thickness.


Top with remaining 6 tortillas, and brush tops with oil.


Gently slide quesadillas onto the grill and cook for about 3 minutes on each side, until heated through and golden brown.


Remove from the grill, set aside to let stand for 2 minutes, cut into wedges and serve.
