Cheese And Poblano Quesadillas Recipes

Steps:

• Heat the broiler to high.
• Char the poblanos under the broiler to blacken their skins on all sides, 7 to 8 minutes. Place in a bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and let stand 10 minutes.
• Peel and seed the peppers, then slice. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Add a drizzle of extra-virgin olive oil and add a tortilla, cover the tortilla with 1/2 cup cheese and 1/4 of the peppers. Fold the tortilla in half and cook 2 minutes to crisp and char the tortilla evenly and melt cheese. Remove and cut into wedges; repeat.

Steps:

• Heat 1 tablespoon of canola oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Stir in the diced sausage, poblano pepper, red pepper, red onion, and corn. Cook until soft, about 15 minutes.
• Spoon 1/4 of the sausage mixture on one half of each tortilla; top each with 1/2 cup cheese. Fold over tortillas to make a half moon shapes. Repeat with remaining ingredients.
• Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of canola oil in large skillet over medium heat. Cook quesadillas until the cheese is melted and the tortilla is brown and crispy, about 5 minutes per side. Cut each quesadilla into 4 wedges, and top with sour cream and salsa, if desired.

Steps:

• To roast peppers: On a gas stove, place directly over the flame, rotating them until skins have blackened, about 6 minutes. Place in a bowl, cover with plastic wrap and let steam for 20 minutes. Use sharp knife to scrape off skins; remove seeds and veins. You can also roast peppers under a broiler or on a grill, turning until nicely charred.
• Place tortillas on work surface. Top bottom half of each with Muenster cheese, poblano strips, goat cheese and green onions. Fold tortillas in half to enclose filling.
• Heat oiled griddle or large nonstick pan over medium-high heat; brush top of quesadillas with oil and place on griddle, oiled side down.
• Cook until one side is golden and crispy, 1 to 2 minutes, rotating them as they cook to prevent burning before the cheese can melt. Brush tops with a bit more oil. Turn them over to cook other side until golden and crispy and cheese has melted, 1 to 2 minutes.
• Cut quesadillas in half; top with salsa and drizzle with crema, if using. Serve immediately.
