Blue Cheese Quesadillas Recipes

BLUE CHEESE QUESADILLAS

Steps:

• In medium bowl, mix all salsa ingredients. Cover and refrigerate until serving time.
• Heat oven to 375°F. Grease cookie sheet. In small bowl, mix all filling ingredients. Sprinkle over 4 tortillas; top with remaining tortillas, pressing down slightly. Place on cookie sheet.
• Bake 8 to 10 minutes or until cheese begins to melt and tortillas are slightly browned. Cut each into 8 wedges. Serve with salsa.

BLUE CORN, MUSHROOM AND CHEESE QUESADILLAS

Steps:

• For the porcinis: Heat the oil over medium heat in a large, heavy frying pan. Add the onions and cook, stirring, until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the mushrooms and chiles and continue cooking until golden brown, about 5 more minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Add the cilantro and set aside.
• For the blue corn tortillas: In a bowl, mix the harina de maiz azul, masa harina and salt with the warm water using a wooden spoon until a dough is formed, about 2 minutes. Let stand, covered tightly with plastic wrap, for 2 minutes.
• Divide the dough into 12 parts. Roll each part into a ball, keeping the balls you are not using in a plastic bag so that they don't dry out. (If the dough does get too dry, add a little extra water.)
• Place a ball on a sheet of plastic wrap and cover it with another sheet. Flatten slightly with the palm of your hand, and then finish rolling with a rolling pin, working quickly and lightly. Flip the package over and repeat until an approximately 6-inch circle is formed. Repeat with all the dough balls.
• Preheat a flat griddle or pan to high heat.
• Peel away the top layer of plastic wrap, flip the package over gently and peel away the other piece of plastic wrap. Transfer to the griddle.
• Bake on the first side for about 30 seconds. Flip and bake on the second side for about 30 seconds. Flip once again. Remove from the griddle and keep warm.
• To assemble, spread with a quarter of the cheese on 1 tortilla. Garnish with a quarter of the mushrooms and top with another tortilla. Place on the griddle, turn the heat down to medium-high and press down gently. Cook until the cheese begins to melt. Flip the quesadilla, and heat for another minute. Repeat with the remaining ingredients. Serve with salsa if desired.

• In 12-inch skillet, heat 1 teaspoon of the oil over medium heat. Place 1 tortilla in skillet; on half of tortilla, sprinkle 3 tablespoons mozzarella cheese, 2 tablespoons blue cheese and 1/2 cup shredded chicken. Fold tortilla in half over filling. Cook 3 to 5 minutes, turning once, until golden brown and cheese is melted. Remove quesadilla to plate; cover to keep warm. Repeat with remaining oil, tortillas, cheese and chicken.
• Cut each quesadilla into 4 wedges. Serve with blue cheese dressing and celery sticks.
