Categories     main-dish

Time 45m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
8 ounces sweet Italian sausage, casings removed
2 bell peppers (any color), sliced
1 small onion, sliced
2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
1 teaspoon dried oregano
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
1 1/3 cups marinara sauce
4 large flour tortillas (burrito-size)
1 8-ounce bag shredded mozzarella cheese (about 2 cups)
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Steps:

  • Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sausage and cook, breaking it up with a wooden spoon and stirring occasionally, until browned and mostly cooked through, about 5 minutes.
  • Add the bell peppers, onion, garlic, oregano, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper to the skillet. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are tender, about 15 minutes. Add 1/3 cup each marinara sauce and water and cook, stirring, until the vegetables are lightly coated and the skillet is mostly dry, 3 to 5 minutes. Transfer to a medium bowl and carefully wipe out the skillet.
  • Lay the tortillas on a work surface. Top one side of each tortilla with 1/4 cup mozzarella, 1/2 tablespoon Parmesan, one-quarter of the sausage-and-peppers mixture and another 1/4 cup mozzarella and 1/2 tablespoon Parmesan. Fold the tortillas over the filling and gently press.
  • Brush the tortillas with the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil. Working in two batches, cook the quesadillas in the reserved skillet over medium heat until browned, about 2 minutes per side.
  • Warm the remaining 1 cup marinara sauce in a small saucepan or the microwave. Cut the quesadillas into wedges. Serve with the sauce for dipping.

Tips:

  • Choose the right sausage: For the best flavor, use a smoked sausage with a good amount of paprika or chili powder. Avoid sausages that are too greasy or salty.
  • Cook the sausage thoroughly: Before adding the sausage to the quesadillas, make sure it is cooked through. This will help to prevent the quesadillas from becoming greasy.
  • Use a variety of cheeses: For a more flavorful quesadilla, use a blend of different cheeses, such as cheddar, mozzarella, and Monterey Jack. You can also add some crumbled queso fresco or goat cheese for extra flavor.
  • Don't overcrowd the quesadillas: When assembling the quesadillas, don't overload them with fillings. This will make them difficult to fold and cook evenly.
  • Cook the quesadillas over medium heat: Cook the quesadillas over medium heat so that they have time to brown and crisp up without burning.
  • Serve the quesadillas with your favorite toppings: Once the quesadillas are cooked, serve them immediately with your favorite toppings, such as salsa, guacamole, sour cream, or pico de gallo.

Conclusion:

Smoked sausage and red pepper quesadillas are a quick and easy meal that is perfect for busy weeknights. They are also a great way to use up leftover smoked sausage. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can have a delicious and satisfying meal that the whole family will enjoy.
