Time 50m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

4 tablespoons olive oil
2 cups chopped asparagus
2 cups chopped baby bella mushrooms
1 cup chopped sweet onion
1/4 cup chardonnay
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
5 tomatillos
3 serrano chiles
1 whole clove garlic
12 corn tortillas
1 cup grated Monterey jack cheese
1 cup goat cheese
1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro

Steps:

  • Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add 2 tablespoons olive oil. Saute the asparagus, mushrooms and onions, about 4 minutes. Add the wine and some salt and pepper. Reduce the heat to low and simmer, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat.
  • Wrap the tomatillos and chiles in aluminum foil and place over an open flame for about 5 minutes on each side. Transfer to a blender with the garlic clove and 1/3 cup water. Blend until smooth. Taste and season with salt and pepper.
  • Wrap the tortillas in a clean, damp dishcloth and place in the microwave for 2 minutes.
  • Fill each tortilla with a little jack cheese and about 1 tablespoon asparagus filling. Fold in half like a taco.
  • Heat a large saute pan over medium-high heat and add the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil. Pan-fry the folded quesadillas in batches until golden and crispy, about 3 minutes on each side. Set aside on paper towels to drain any oil.
  • Serve each quesadilla with some goat cheese crumbled on top and garnish with fresh cilantro.

I thought these quesadillas were just okay. The flavors were a bit bland for my taste. I think I would have preferred a spicier salsa.

I'm always looking for new quesadilla recipes and this one didn't disappoint. The roasted tomatillo salsa was a great way to add some extra flavor.

These quesadillas were a bit too rich for my taste. I think I would have preferred a lighter cheese, like mozzarella.

I was disappointed with these quesadillas. The roasted tomatillo salsa was too tart for my taste. I also found the goat cheese to be a bit overpowering.

These quesadillas were just okay. The flavors didn't really come together for me. I think I would have preferred a different type of cheese.

I'm not a huge fan of goat cheese, but I thought I'd give this recipe a try. I'm glad I did! The goat cheese was actually really good in the quesadillas. The asparagus and mushrooms were also cooked perfectly.
