Yield Makes 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

3 tablespoons plus 8 teaspoons vegetable oil
1 1/3 pounds poblano chilies,* seeded, thinly sliced (about 6 cups)
3 tablespoons (about) water
3 garlic cloves, minced
1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro
8 9-inch flour tortillas
1 pound Monterey Jack cheese, grated
8 tablespoons purchased fresh tomato salsa

Steps:

  • Heat 3 tablespoons oil in heavy large skillet over medium heat. Add chilies. Cover and cook until chilies are soft, adding water by tablespoonfuls if chilies become too dark, stirring occasionally, about 10 minutes. Uncover. Add garlic; sauté 1 minute. Transfer to medium bowl. Stir in cilantro. Season chili mixture to taste with salt and pepper.
  • Heat 2 teaspoons oil in each of 2 heavy large skillets over medium-high heat. Add 1 tortilla to each skillet. Top each with 1/4 of cheese and 1/4 of chili mixture, then 2 tablespoons salsa. Top each with 1 tortilla. Cook until bottoms are golden brown, about 3 minutes. Turn quesadillas over. Cook until bottoms are golden brown and cheese melts, about 3 minutes. Transfer to cutting board. Cut each quesadilla into 6 wedges. Transfer to platter. Repeat with remaining oil, tortillas, cheese, chili mixture, and salsa. Serve hot.
  • *Fresh green chilies, often called pasillas; available at Latin American markets and some supermarkets.

I didn't like these quesadillas at all. The green chilies were too spicy and the Monterey Jack cheese was too bland.

These quesadillas were a little too spicy for me, but my husband loved them. I think next time I'll use a milder green chili.

I'm not a big fan of green chilies, but I loved these quesadillas. The Monterey Jack cheese and cilantro really mellowed out the heat of the chilies.

These quesadillas are so easy to make and they're always a crowd-pleaser. I love that I can use any kind of green chilies I have on hand. I've even used roasted poblano peppers before and they were amazing!

I made these quesadillas for dinner last night and they were delicious! The green chilies added a nice kick of heat and the Monterey Jack cheese was perfectly melted and gooey. I will definitely be making these again.
