Mushroom And Goat Cheese Quesadillas Recipes

Steps:

• Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add 2 tablespoons olive oil. Saute the asparagus, mushrooms and onions, about 4 minutes. Add the wine and some salt and pepper. Reduce the heat to low and simmer, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat.
• Wrap the tomatillos and chiles in aluminum foil and place over an open flame for about 5 minutes on each side. Transfer to a blender with the garlic clove and 1/3 cup water. Blend until smooth. Taste and season with salt and pepper.
• Wrap the tortillas in a clean, damp dishcloth and place in the microwave for 2 minutes.
• Fill each tortilla with a little jack cheese and about 1 tablespoon asparagus filling. Fold in half like a taco.
• Heat a large saute pan over medium-high heat and add the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil. Pan-fry the folded quesadillas in batches until golden and crispy, about 3 minutes on each side. Set aside on paper towels to drain any oil.
• Serve each quesadilla with some goat cheese crumbled on top and garnish with fresh cilantro.

Steps:

• Wash the spinach but do not dry. If using bunch spinach, chop coarsely. Heat the olive oil over medium heat in a large, heavy frying pan. Add the garlic. Cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds, then stir in the spinach. Raise the heat, and stir just until the spinach wilts. Remove from the heat. Press down on the spinach with the back of your spoon, and drain off any water in the pan. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
• In a microwave: Place a corn tortilla on a plate. Top with half the spinach, and spread in an even layer. Sprinkle on half the cheese, and top with another tortilla. Press down gently, then microwave for 1 to 1 1/2 minutes, until the cheese has melted. Remove from the microwave, cut into quarters or sixths, and serve. Repeat with the remaining ingredients.
• In a pan: Place a corn tortilla in the pan. Top with half the spinach, and spread in an even layer. Sprinkle on half the cheese. Turn the heat to medium-high, and heat until the cheese begins to melt. Place another tortilla on top of the cheese, and press down lightly. Flip the quesadilla over in the pan, and heat for about 30 seconds or until the cheese has melted. Flip back over, and remove to a plate. Cut into quarters or sixths, and serve. Repeat with the remaining ingredients.

Steps:

• Saute the mushrooms, red bell pepper and green bell pepper in the olive oil in a skillet for 4 to 5 minutes.

• Remove from the heat. Stir in the goat cheese.
• Spread 3 heaping tablespoons of the mushroom, bell pepper and goat cheese mixture over 4 tortillas. Top with the remaining tortillas.
• Grill on a flat griddle or in a large skillet on both sides until golden brown.
• Cut each quesadilla into 6 wedges.
