Time 25m

Yield Makes 4 quesadillas

Number Of Ingredients 15

4 medium to large flour or corn tortillas, see our homemade flour tortilla recipe
1 tablespoon neutral oil or butter
5 ounces mushrooms, sliced (about 2 cups sliced)
1 small onion, sliced
1 bell pepper or poblano pepper, seeds removed and sliced
3 cups torn kale leaves or spinach
1/4 teaspoon onion powder
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
1/4 teaspoon oregano, preferably Mexican oregano
1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika
1/4 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
5 ounces melting cheese like Monterey Jack, shredded (about 1 1/4 cups)
Spray oil or oil brushed onto pan

Steps:

  • Heat the oil or butter in a wide skillet over medium-high heat. Add mushrooms and spread into one layer. Cook, without moving, until browned on one side, 3 to 5 minutes.
  • Stir the mushrooms around the pan, and then add the sliced onions, peppers, onion powder, garlic powder, cumin, oregano, smoked paprika, pepper and the salt. Cook the vegetables until the onions have softened and smell sweet, about 5 minutes. Add the kale or spinach and cook until bright green and wilted, another 2 to 3 minutes.
  • Make quesadillas or transfer the cooked vegetables to an airtight container and refrigerate up to 5 days.
  • Heat a heavy-bottomed skillet over medium heat. Lightly spray the pan or brush it with oil, and then place one tortilla down into the pan.
  • Spread a quarter of the cheese over the tortilla and then spoon a quarter of the cooked vegetable mixture onto one half. Carefully fold the tortilla in half, and then use a spatula to press the top down so that it stays folded. Cook until the underside is toasted, about 2 minutes.
  • Carefully flip the quesadilla and cook until the second side is toasted and the cheese is melted, 1 to 2 minutes. Transfer the quesadilla to a cutting board and cut in half. Repeat with remaining quesadillas.
  • Keep cooked quesadillas warm in a 200 degree F oven while you finish making the remaining quesadillas.

Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 tablespoon olive oil, plus more for grates
4 ears corn (husks and silks removed), or 1 package (10 ounces) frozen corn kernels, thawed
1 bunch scallions, half of bunch thinly sliced, other half cut into 2-inch lengths
1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
Coarse salt and ground pepper
4 flour tortillas (10-inch)
1 1/2 cups shredded Monterey Jack cheese (6 ounces)
1 yellow squash, halved crosswise and thinly sliced lengthwise
1 orange bell pepper (ribs and seeds removed), thinly sliced

Steps:

  • Heat grill to low; lightly oil grates. Cut off tip of each cob. One at a time, stand each ear in a large wide bowl; with a sharp knife, carefully slice downward to release the kernels (you should have about 2 cups). Discard cobs.
  • Add sliced scallions, lime juice, and oil to bowl. Season with salt and pepper, and toss to combine. Set corn relish aside.
  • Place tortillas on a work surface. Dividing evenly, sprinkle half the cheese on bottom half of each tortilla. Top with squash, bell pepper, scallion pieces, and remaining cheese; season with salt and pepper. Fold top half of tortillas over filling to close.
  • Grill quesadillas, turning once, until browned in spots and cheese has melted, 6 to 8 minutes. Cut into wedges; serve immediately with corn relish.

Yield 4 people

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 tablespoon olive oil, plus more for grates
4 ears corn (husks and silks removed), or 1 package (10 ounces) frozen corn kernels, thawed
1 bunch scallions, half of bunch thinly sliced, other half cut into 2-inch lengths
1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
Coarse salt and ground pepper
4 flour tortillas (10-inch)
1 1/2 cups shredded Monterey Jack cheese (6 ounces)
1 yellow squash, halved crosswise and thinly sliced lengthwise
1 orange bell pepper (ribs and seeds removed), thinly sliced

Steps:

  • 1. Heat grill to low; lightly oil grates. Cut off tip of each cob. One at a time, stand each ear in a large wide bowl; with a sharp knife, carefully slice downward to release the kernels (you should have about 2 cups). Discard cobs. 2. Add sliced scallions, lime juice, and oil to bowl. Season with salt and pepper, and toss to combine. Set corn relish aside. 3. Place tortillas on a work surface. Dividing evenly, sprinkle half the cheese on bottom half of each tortilla. Top with squash, bell pepper, scallion pieces, and remaining cheese; season with salt and pepper. Fold top half of tortillas over filling to close. 4. Grill quesadillas, turning once, until browned in spots and cheese has melted, 6 to 8 minutes. Cut into wedges; serve immediately with corn relish.

Tips:

  • For the best flavor, use fresh vegetables whenever possible. If you can't find fresh vegetables, frozen vegetables will also work.
  • Be sure to chop the vegetables into small pieces so that they cook evenly.
  • Don't overcrowd the skillet when cooking the vegetables. If you do, they will not cook evenly.
  • Season the vegetables with salt and pepper to taste.
  • If you are using a non-stick skillet, you may not need to add any oil. However, if you are using a regular skillet, you will need to add a little bit of oil to prevent the vegetables from sticking.
  • Cook the vegetables until they are tender but still have a little bit of crunch.
  • To make the corn relish, simply combine the corn, tomatoes, onions, cilantro, and lime juice in a bowl.
  • Season the corn relish with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Serve the quesadillas with the corn relish and your favorite toppings, such as sour cream, guacamole, or salsa.
