Truffled Mushroom Quesadilla Recipes

Steps:

• Melt butter in a skillet over medium heat; stir in onion, garlic, jalapeno pepper, and epazote and cook until soft, about 5 minutes. Stir corn truffles into onion mixture; cook and stir until truffle liquid has evaporated, about 10 minutes. Season with salt and keep warm.
• Heat a large griddle or skillet over medium heat until hot. Moisten both sides of two tortillas with water and place them, stacked together, onto the hot griddle; cook until the bottom tortilla is crisp, about 2 minutes. Flip the stacked tortillas and cook the other tortilla until crisp, about 2 minutes. Separate the two tortillas; place them separately, uncooked side down, onto the hot griddle. Cover the crisp side of one tortilla with 1/5 of the Oaxaca cheese; place 1/5 of the corn truffle mixture over the cheese, then lay the crisp side of the second tortilla on top to cover the truffle mix.
• Cook, turning once, until both tortillas are crisp and cheese is melted, about 3 minutes; repeat with remaining tortillas, cheese, and corn truffle mixture. Cut each quesadilla into four wedges to serve.

Steps:

• Preheat grill or grill pan. Brush the mushrooms with 1/4 cup of the olive oil and season with salt and pepper to taste. Grill the mushrooms until golden brown and cooked through, remove from grill and coarsely chop. Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Place 8 tortillas on an ungreased baking sheet. Spread some of the roasted garlic puree on each. Divide the cheese among the tortillas, then the mushrooms and thyme and season to taste with salt and pepper. Stack to make 4 (2 layer) tortillas and cover with remaining tortilla, brush the tops with olive oil. Place on a lightly oiled baking sheet and bake or until the tortillas are lightly golden brown and the cheese has melted, about 5 to 7 minutes. Remove and drizzle with white truffle oil.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
• Spray a large skillet with vegetable oil. Cook mushrooms, onion and garlic in skillet over medium heat until onion is tender, about 5 to 7 minutes.
• Stir in cilantro and remove from heat. Arrange one-third of the mushroom mixture on half of one tortilla.
• Sprinkle with 2 tablespoons of the cheese. Fold the other half of the tortilla over cheese.
• Place on a baking sheet.
• Repeat with remaining ingredients to make 3 quesadillas total.
• Bake quesadillas about 5 minutes, or until filling is hot and cheese melts.
• Cut each quesadilla into 4 wedges.
• Serve warm with salsa if desired.
• MICROWAVE METHOD:.
• Spray a microwave-safe casserole with vegetable oil.
• Add mushrooms, onion and garlic.
• Cook, uncovered, on 100% power (high) for 5 to 7 minutes, or until onion is tender, stirring twice.
• Stir in cilantro.
• Assemble quesadillas as directed above and arrange them on a microwave-safe plate or platter.
• Cook, rotating plate once, uncovered, on 100% power (high) for 1 to 2 minutes, or until filling is hot and cheese melts.

Steps:

• Add a tad of butter to a fry pan and add onions and mushrooms.
• When all the water that was released from the mushrooms has evaporated, add the cooked chicken, salsa, green chiles and drained and rinsed beans. In case you are wondering, why rinse the beans? There is so much flavor packed into those little guys from soaking in the soup broth and you don't want a soggy tortilla. Anyhow, simmer for about 5 minutes.
• Lightly butter one side of the tortilla and place in frypan (medium-low), add just enough cheese for the filling to stick to. Add the warm filling and top with more cheese. Top with another tortilla that has been lightly buttered on the side facing up. When cheese has melted on the bottom, carefully flip.
• Remove to plate when the other side has melted. I use a pizza roller to cut into 4 wedges.
