Grilled Cheese Quesadillas With Poblanos Ham Recipes

GRILLED HAM & CHEESE QUESADILLAS

Steps:

• Lay the tortilla on a work surface, spread it with the mustard. Lay the ham on top to cover the whole tortilla. On one side of the tortilla lay the peppers, sharp cheddar and sprinkle the chopped green onion and jalepeno over. Fold the tortilla in half. Have the grill very hot, lay the folded quesadilla on the grill and press it down. Grill for about 6 or 8 minutes until the cheese melts, then flip it and grill the other side. Use a panni press if available and no need to flip.
• Remove to plate and slice in half. Spread half the salsa on each tortilla half.

CHEESY HAM QUESADILLAS

Steps:

• Sprinkle cheese onto one half of each tortilla. Top with ham, tomato and green onion tops. Fold each tortilla in half, pressing firmly together.
• In a 10-inch skillet, cook quesadillas, two at a time, over medium heat for 4 minutes, or until lightly browned, turning once. Repeat with remaining quesadillas.
• Cut each quesadilla into wedges and serve.

HAM AND CHEESE QUESADILLAS

Steps:

• Arrange 4 tortillas on work surface. Sprinkle 1/2 cup cheese over each tortilla. Top with ham, leaving 1/4-inch borders. Sprinkle 1 tablespoon raisins over each. Divide remaining cheese and sprinkle over tortillas. Top with onions and remaining tortillas. (Can be prepared 6 hours ahead. Cover and refrigerate.)
• Melt 1 1/2 teaspoons butter in heavy large skillet over medium heat. Place 1 quesadilla in skillet. Cook until brown, about 3 minutes per side. Remove from skillet and keep warm. Repeat cooking process with remaining butter and quesadillas. Cut into wedges and serve.

GRILLED QUESADILLAS

Steps:

• Preheat grill or grill pan to medium.
• Place half of the tortillas on the grill, and drop a quarter-cup of cheese in the center of each. Spread cheese as close to edges as possible.* Place a second tortilla on top of each.
• Grill until bottom tortilla is lightly browned and cheese begins to melt, about 1-2 minutes. Flip and continue cooking until browned on the other side.
• Cut into quarters and serve with salsa, sour cream, and guacamole.
• *Optional: Add grilled chicken or shrimp and/or sauteed onions and peppers at this step. Both will add flavor and texture, although the recipe is complete without them.
