Provided by Sheila03

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 c (8 oz) shredded cheddar cheese
1 can (4 oz) diced green chiles
1/2 c whole kernel corn
1/4 c (about 2) sliced green onions
10 (6-in) fajita-size flour tortillas
salsa (optional)
chopped fresh cilantro (optional)

Steps:

  • Combine cheese, chiles, corn and green onion in medium bowl. Spread 1/3 c cheese mixture onto one half of each tortillas; fold in half. Spray large griddle with cooking spray; place two quesadillas in pan. Cook each side over medium-high heat until golden brown and cheese is melted. Repeat with remaining ingredients. Cut each into halves or thirds. Serve with salsa and cilantro.

Tips:

  • Select the Right Chilies: Choose fresh, plump, and flavorful green chilies. Look for varieties like Anaheim, Poblano, or Hatch chilies, which offer a mild to medium heat level.
  • Roast the Chilies: Roasting the chilies enhances their flavor and smokiness. You can roast them directly over an open flame, on a grill, or in a hot oven until the skin is charred and blistered.
  • Remove the Seeds and Veins: Once the chilies are roasted, carefully remove the seeds and veins. This step reduces the heat level and bitterness of the chilies, making them more palatable.
  • Use Good Quality Cheese: Opt for a flavorful and melty cheese that complements the chilies well. Mexican cheese blends, cheddar, or mozzarella are popular choices.
  • Add Other Fillings: Feel free to customize your quesadillas with additional fillings such as shredded chicken, sautéed vegetables, or beans. Experiment with different combinations to create unique and delicious quesadillas.
  • Cook the Quesadillas Properly: Heat a lightly oiled skillet or griddle over medium heat. Cook the quesadillas for a few minutes per side until the cheese is melted and gooey, and the tortillas are golden and crispy.

Conclusion:

Green chile quesadillas are a versatile and delicious dish that can be enjoyed as a snack, appetizer, or main course. With its combination of roasted green chilies, melted cheese, and a crispy tortilla, this dish is sure to satisfy your taste buds.
