BEEF, BLUE CHEESE AND SPINACH QUESADILLAS



Beef, Blue Cheese and Spinach Quesadillas image

This was a recipe that I received at a recent Weight Watchers meeting. Though it's full of yummy beef, cheese and spinach, according to Weight Watchers, only has 8 points for 1 whole quesadilla. (Serving suggestion by WW was 1/4 of a quesadilla for 2 pts, but I made these, and we each ate 1 whole for dinner.) My husband and I really liked them--they do not have a traditional flavor, but the blue cheese is so yummy. Adjust the heat of the taco sauce and the amount of red pepper flakes to your spiciness liking. We served these with extra taco sauce on the side.

Categories     main-dish

Time 45m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 tablespoons/30 ml olive oil
1 onion, thinly sliced
8 ounces porcini mushrooms, trimmed and sliced
1 jalapeno or serrano chile, seeded and minced
Salt and freshly ground pepper
A few sprigs of fresh cilantro or epazote
1 cup/250 ml harina de maiz azul (blue cornmeal)
1 cup/250 ml masa harina
1/2 teaspoon/2 ml salt
About 1 cup/250 ml warm water
1 cup/250 ml queso fresco
Salsa, for serving, optional

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.

BUFFALO CHICKEN & BLUE CHEESE QUESADILLAS RECIPE - (4/5)



Buffalo Chicken & Blue Cheese Quesadillas Recipe - (4/5) image

Provided by calypan

Number Of Ingredients 9

4 ounces blue cheese , crumbled (1 cup)
1 celery rib , sliced thin
1/4 cup sour cream
2 scallions , sliced thin
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 1/2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts , trimmed and cut into 1-inch-thick strips
1/3 cup hot sauce
4 (10-inch) flour tortillas
1 tablespoon vegetable oil

Steps:

  • 1. Combine blue cheese, celery, sour cream, and scallions in bowl. Melt butter in 12-inch nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add chicken and hot sauce and simmer until chicken is cooked through, 6 to 8 minutes. Transfer chicken mixture to bowl. Using 2 forks, shred chicken into bite-size pieces. Wipe out skillet. 2. Working one at a time, spread one-quarter of blue cheese mixture over half of tortilla, leaving ½-inch border around edges. Top with one-quarter of chicken mixture. Fold tortilla over filling, pressing firmly to seal. 3. Heat 1½ teaspoons oil in now-empty skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Cook 2 quesadillas until golden brown and crisp, 1 to 2 minutes per side. Transfer to cutting board. Repeat with remaining 1½ teaspoons oil and remaining 2 quesadillas. Cut into wedges. Serve.

Tips:

  • Select high-quality ingredients: Use fresh tortillas, ripe avocado, and creamy blue cheese for the best flavor.
  • Don't overcrowd the quesadilla: Add just enough filling so that the quesadilla can be folded without spilling out.
  • Cook the quesadilla over medium heat: This will help to prevent the tortilla from burning and ensure that the cheese melts evenly.
  • Flip the quesadilla frequently: This will help to cook it evenly on both sides.
  • Serve the quesadilla immediately: This is when it will be at its best, with a crispy tortilla and melted cheese.

Conclusion:

Blue cheese quesadillas are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or meal. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a dish that is sure to please everyone at your table. So next time you're looking for a quick and tasty recipe, give blue cheese quesadillas a try!
