Yield 3 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 cup grated white Cheddar cheese
1 cup grated Monterey Jack cheese
1 cup grated pepper jack cheese
6 tablespoons salted butter
Six 8-inch flour tortillas

Categories     main-dish

Time 40m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

3 tablespoons salted butter, melted
8 burrito-size flour tortillas
4 cups shredded Cheddar cheese
4 cups shredded rotisserie chicken
1 teaspoon taco seasoning
One 4-ounce can diced green chiles, drained
1 cup frozen corn, thawed
1/2 cup sliced black olives
1/2 cup salsa
Serving suggestions: 1 avocado, diced, sour cream, 1 lime, cut into eighths and several sprigs fresh cilantro

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Brush a half sheet pan or rimmed cookie sheet with half of the butter.
  • Arrange 2 tortillas along the longest side of the sheet pan with half hanging over the rim; repeat with the other long side of the pan. Place one tortilla, also half hanging over, at each end. Place 1 tortilla in the center so the whole bottom of the sheet pan is covered.
  • Sprinkle evenly with half of the shredded cheese, all of the chicken, taco seasoning, chiles, corn and olives. Place spoonfuls of the salsa over the top and spread evenly. Top with the remaining cheese.
  • Place 1 tortilla in the center of the pan, on top of the filling, and then fold up the overhanging tortillas so that the filling is completely covered. Brush with the remaining butter, top with another sheet pan and press down firmly.
  • Bake until the tortillas are crispy and the inside is melted and hot, 20 to 25 minutes.
  • Carefully remove the top sheet pan. Slice the quesadilla into squares and serve with avocado, sour cream, lime and cilantro.

THE CHEESIEST QUESADILLAS



The Cheesiest Quesadillas image

Provided by Ree Drummond : Food Network

Categories     main-dish

Time 35m

Yield 3 quesadillas

Number Of Ingredients 5

3 green poblano chiles
Butter, for greasing the skillet
3 extra-large flour tortillas
1 1/2 cups finely grated Monterey Jack cheese
1 1/2 cups finely grated pepper jack cheese

Steps:

  • Roast the chiles by using metal tongs to hold them one-by-one over the flame of your stovetop until the skin is totally charred. (If you don't have a gas stove, you can use an outdoor grill OR place them on a baking sheet directly under your oven's broiler.) When totally blackened, place the chiles in a large resealable plastic bag and seal the bag to allow them to sweat for a good 20 minutes. Then use a knife to scrape off most of the blackened skin. Stem, seed and finely mince the chiles.
  • Butter a large cast-iron skillet generously and set over medium heat. Put 1 tortilla in the skillet and sprinkle on a third of the Monterey Jack and pepper jack cheese, evenly spreading it all the way to the edges so that the surface will be totally covered. Sprinkle on a third of the roasted chiles. Wait for the cheese to mostly melt, then fold half of the tortilla over itself. Cook for 20 more seconds, then flip the half-moon over and cook until the tortilla is buttery and golden, for 30 more seconds. Keep warm and repeat with the remaining tortillas, cheese and chiles. Cut into 4 or 5 wedges each and serve with bowls of chili.

QUESADILLAS DE CAMARONES (PIONEER WOMAN)



Quesadillas De Camarones (Pioneer Woman) image

Wow are these terrific. I never thought about making shrimp quesadillas, and I wish I saw this recipe sooner. I didn't use as much butter as the recipe called for, and I found my griddle worked great the whole way through just by starting with a little butter in the pan. I also didn't find it needed any salt because the enchilada sauce was salty enough. I served this with guacamole and salsa. If I had any cilantro in the house, I would have topped the entire mixture with a bunch of it. Recipe courtesy of The Pioneer Woman Cooks: Food From My Frontier.

QUESADILLAS DE CAMARONES (SHRIMP QUESADILLAS) - PIONEER WOMAN



Quesadillas De Camarones (Shrimp Quesadillas) - Pioneer Woman image

I discovered The Pioneer woman earlier this year and am happy that I did. Ree does a tremendous job providing detailed instructions and pictures on how to make all of her recipes. I made these quesadillas last month..and man oh man are they good! I found the key for these quesadillas is cooking the vegetables separately from the shrimp, chopping the shrimp into small pieces, and of course the butter used in the cooking of the assembled quesadilla...use butter...I promise...you won't be sorry you did. Enjoy!!
