Time 30m

Yield Six servings

Number Of Ingredients 23

1 pound fresh tomatillas (about 12), husked
2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
1 jalapeno pepper, seeded and minced
2 teaspoons fresh lime juice
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
2 cups hot, cooked black beans
2 teaspoons olive oil
4 teaspoons fresh lime juice
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 clove garlic, peeled and minced
1/4 cup chopped scallions
Freshly ground pepper to taste
6 ounces soft goat cheese
6 small flour tortillas
6 large slices smoked salmon
1/4 cup orange juice
2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
2 teaspoon walnut oil
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
Freshly ground pepper to taste
10 cups stemmed arugula
2 yellow bell peppers, cored and cut into thin strips

Steps:

  • To make the salsa, pulse the tomatillas in a food processor until well combined. Set aside.
  • To make the quesadillas, gently combine the hot beans, the oil, lime juice, salt, garlic, scallions and pepper to taste. Keep warm. Spread about 2 tablespoons of goat cheese over half of each tortilla. Using a heaping 1/4 cup of the bean mixture for each tortilla, press the beans into the goat cheese. Trim the salmon slices to fit half of the tortilla and lay the slices with the trimmings over the beans. Fold the tortilla in half and press the sides together. Set aside.
  • To make the salad, whisk together the juices and mustard. Whisk in the walnut oil, salt and pepper. Place the arugula in a bowl and toss with the yellow peppers. Toss with the dressing.
  • Heat a large nonstick skillet. Working in batches, cook the quesadillas until browned and heated through, about 1 to 1 1/2 minutes per side. Cut each into 3 triangles.
  • Spoon a little of the salsa onto the center of 6 large plates. Place 3 quesadilla triangles around the salsa. Arrange the salad in a circle around the edge of the plates and serve immediately.

These quesadillas are a bit time-consuming to make, but they're definitely worth the effort.

These quesadillas were a bit too spicy for my taste. Next time I'll use less chili powder.

I'm not a fan of avocado, so I left it out of the salsa. The quesadillas were still really good.

I love that these quesadillas can be made ahead of time and then reheated when you're ready to eat.

These quesadillas were a bit too greasy for my liking. I think I'll try baking them next time.
