Veggie and Chorizo Quesadillas image

Provided by Trisha Yearwood

Time 30m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 tablespoon olive oil
8 ounces Mexican chorizo
1 medium red bell pepper, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
3 cups fresh spinach
8 flour tortillas (about 7 inches in diameter)
8 ounces shredded Mexican cheese blend
1 tablespoon butter
Salsa, for serving

Steps:

  • Heat the oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chorizo and cook, stirring, until aromatic and browned, about 4 minutes. Reduce the heat to medium and add the bell pepper. Cook, stirring, until slightly softened, about 3 minutes. Add the spinach and toss until wilted. Cool slightly.
  • Lay out 4 of the tortillas and sprinkle with half of the cheese (about 1/4 cup per tortilla). Divide the chorizo mixture among them, then sprinkle with the remaining cheese. Top with the remaining tortillas.
  • Wipe the skillet clean and melt the butter over medium-high heat. Carefully transfer 2 of the quesadillas to the skillet and cook, flipping once, until golden brown and melty, about 3 minutes per side; transfer to a cutting board. Cook the remaining 2 quesadillas. Cut each into 4 pieces and serve with salsa.

Categories     appetizer

Time 1h

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

Olive oil, for cooking
1 medium onion, diced
1 clove garlic, minced
1 poblano pepper, roasted, peeled, seeded, and diced
10 individual fresh squash blossoms, or 1 (6-ounce) can
1/2 cup chicken stock
3 sprigs fresh epazote, finely chopped
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
4 (10-inch) flour tortillas
1/4 pound queso blanco, grated

Steps:

  • Heat a large saute pan with a little oil and saute the onion, garlic, and the roasted poblano pepper for 5 minutes, until the onions have become translucent. Then, add the squash blossoms and deglaze with chicken stock. Add the epazote, and cook for another 5 minutes until squash blossoms have wilted. Season with salt and pepper, and set aside to cool.
  • To compose the quesadilla lay the 2 of the tortillas on a flat surface. Distribute the cheese equally on both tortillas. Then, spread 1/2 of the squash blossom filling over the cheese. Cover with the other tortilla, place on heated griddle on nonstick saute pan with a little oil, and cook for 3 minutes on each side. When nice and golden brown on each side and cheese has melted, remove and cut into quarters.

CHORIZO QUESADILLAS WITH EASY HOMEMADE SALSA



Chorizo Quesadillas with Easy Homemade Salsa image

Provided by Nancy Fuller

Categories     appetizer

Time 25m

Yield 4 quesadillas

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 tablespoon olive oil, plus more
3 fresh Mexican chorizo sausages, casings removed (about 1 pound)
Four 10-inch flour tortillas
2 cups grated Pepper Jack cheese (about 8 ounces)
One 15-ounce can black beans, drained and rinsed
Easy Homemade Salsa, recipe follows
1 tablespoon butter
Sour cream, for serving
1/2 cup fresh cilantro leaves
4 plum tomatoes, cut into quarters, seeds removed
1 clove garlic, smashed and peeled
1 jalapeno, seeds removed, quartered
Juice of 1 lime
1/4 red onion, cut into chunks
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Add some oil to the skillet over medium heat. Once hot add the sausage and cook, stirring and breaking up the meat with a wooden spoon, until cooked through and crumbly, about 7 minutes.
  • Use a slotted spoon to remove the sausage from the pan to a paper-towel-lined sheet tray to drain off some of the grease.
  • To assemble the quesadillas, sprinkle each tortilla with 1/2 cup sausage, 1/2 cup cheese, some beans and Easy Homemade Salsa. Fold the tortilla over to close.
  • Heat a cast-iron double-burner griddle over medium-high heat. Add the butter and 1 tablespoon oil. Once the butter is melted and foamy, carefully add the quesadillas to the pan and cook on both sides until golden brown and cheese is fully melted, about 4 minutes per side. Serve with sour cream.
  • Add the cilantro, tomatoes, garlic, jalapenos, lime juice, onion and some salt and pepper to the bowl of a food processor, and pulse until blended together. You want the salsa to still maintain some texture but be much smoother than if chopping by hand.

ROASTED BUTTERNUT SQUASH, SPINACH AND MOZZARELLA QUESADILLAS



Roasted Butternut Squash, Spinach and Mozzarella Quesadillas image

Roast chunks of butternut squash and tuck them into a gooey quesadilla with sauteed spinach.

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Time 1h10m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 9

One 2-pound butternut squash, peeled, seeded, and cut into 3/4-inch chunks (about 3 cups)
3 tablespoons plus 2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 large shallot, sliced (about 3/4 cup)
One 10-ounce package baby spinach leaves, washed but not dried
Four 10-inch (burrito-size) flour tortillas
2 cups shredded mozzarella
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
Guacamole, salsa, chopped scallions and sour cream, for serving

Steps:

  • Position an oven rack in the center of the oven and preheat it to 425 degrees F. Line 2 rimmed baking sheets with parchment and set aside.
  • Put the squash in a medium bowl and add 3 tablespoons of the oil, 2 teaspoons of salt and a few grinds of pepper. Mix until the squash is well coated. Divide and spread the squash out in a single layer between the 2 prepared baking sheets. Roast until tender, about 30 minutes.
  • Add the remaining 2 teaspoons of oil to a medium skillet over medium-high heat. Add the shallot and cook, stirring, until brown and soft, about 3 minutes. Raise the heat to high and add the spinach with whatever water clings to the leaves and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Stir while incorporating any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet. Cover the skillet and cook until wilted, about 1 minute.
  • Lay a tortilla on a work surface and top evenly with 1/2 cup mozzarella. Add 1/4 of the butternut squash and 1/4 of the spinach. Fold tortilla in half to enclose fillings. Repeat with remaining tortillas and ingredients.
  • Melt 1/2 tablespoon butter in a large non-stick or cast-iron skillet over medium heat. Cook the quesadilla, flipping once, until the cheese is melted and the quesadilla is golden brown, about 3 minutes per side. Remove to a cutting board and repeat with the remaining quesadillas.
  • Cut into triangles and serve with guacamole, scallions, salsa and sour cream.
