Pepper Jack Cheese And Spinach Quesadillas Recipes

Steps:

• Melt butter in a skillet and place a tortilla on it.
• Add half of the cheese to the tortilla.
• On top of the cheese, add half of the green onion and spinach.
• Sprinkle with half the garlic salt and chili powder.
• Top with another tortilla, turn over and fry in skillet until the cheese melts.
• Slice into quarters (or 1/8's for appetizers) and serve hot.
• Repeat with next 2 tortillas.
• Good served with salsa and sour cream!
• This would be great served with guacamole on lettuce and refried beans or/and rice.

Steps:

• To assemble quesadilla, place one tortilla on a dinner plate. Arrange sliced cheese atop tortilla, leaving at least 1/2 inch space from the edge of the tortilla. Arrange sliced tomatoes atop cheese layer followed by another layer of cheese (remaining). Top with remaining tortilla.
• While assembling the quesadillas, preheat an electric griddle to 350 F (or grill to medium-high heat). I use a griddle (rather than a grill) to cook quesadillas, as it is easier to turn them without losing their insides.
• Brush 1 tbs. olive oil onto the griddle, covering the surface. Brush the remaining 1 tbs. olive oil onto the top exposed tortilla. Gently slide the quesadilla from the dinner plate onto the griddle (olive oil-less side down).
• Cook for 5-7 minutes or until bottom tortilla begins to brown. With a large spatula, gently but swiftly turn quesadilla to brown other side. Cook for 5-7 minutes or until bottom tortilla begins to brown. Remove to a cutting board and allow to cool for 5 minutes.
• Slice into quarters and serve immediately with garnish of your preference. I like to use sour cream, salsa or guacamole. For this particular recipe, I served it with my Easy Tex-Mex Tomato Soup.

Steps:

• Preheat an outdoor grill over medium.
• Whisk the garlic, cumin, lime and oranges juices and 1/2 teaspoon salt together in a medium bowl. Add the steak, coat well in the mixture and let marinade for 10 minutes.
• Lightly oil the grill grates. Grill the steak, flipping once, until medium rare, 2 to 6 minutes per side depending on the thickness. Remove to a cutting board and let rest 5 minutes. Slice the steak against the grain and reserve.
• Lay a tortilla on a work surface and top evenly with 1/2 cup pepper-jack cheese. Add 1/4 of the steak and some chopped chipotle in adobo and sauce. Fold the tortilla in half to enclose fillings. Repeat with remaining tortillas and ingredients.
• Melt 1/2 tablespoon butter in a large nonstick or cast-iron skillet over medium heat. Cook the quesadilla, flipping once, until the cheese is melted and it is golden brown on both sides, about 3 minutes per side. Remove to a cutting board and repeat with the remaining quesadillas.
• Cut into triangles and serve with guacamole, salsa, scallions and sour cream.

Steps:

• In a large nonstick skillet, cook and stir first 6 ingredients until spinach is wilted. Remove from heat; stir in cheeses., Top half of each tortilla with spinach mixture; fold other half over filling. Place on a griddle coated with cooking spray; cook over medium heat until golden brown, 1-2 minutes per side. Cut quesadillas in half; if desired, serve with sour cream.

Steps:

• In a large skillet melt butter, add in the sliced bell peppers, garlic, onions and cumin; saute the veggies until soft, season with salt and pepper.
• Drain the bell pepper mixture over a colinder to release any excess juices; set aside.
• In a small bowl combine the green chilies with a little of their juice, cream cheese and 1 teaspoon fresh garlic (if using) mix well to combine, then add in the cheddar cheese, mix to combine.
• Assemble the quesadillas as follows.
• Spread about 3-4 tablespoons of the cheese mixture on 1/2 of each tortilla.
• Top with sauteed pepper mixture; fold over.
• Lightly butter the tortilla and then sprinkle with cumin or chili powder (and a little salt if desired).
• Place the tortilla halves on a lightly greased baking sheet.
• Set oven to 400 degrees,.
• Bake for about 10-15 minutes or until bubbly and lightly browned.
• Cut the tortillas into thirds or fourths.
• In a small bowl mix the sour cream with salsa, and serve as a dip with the sliced quesadillas.
• Delicious!

Steps:

• Add the beef, creole seasoning, onion powder, garlic powder and black pepper to a pan and brown the meat until fully cooked.
• Lay out your four tortillas and evenly divide the pepper jack cheese among them. Keep the ingredients on one half of the tortilla so that you can easily fold it later.
• Sprinkle one tablespoon of feta on each tortilla, on top of the pepper jack.
• Evenly divide the beef among the four tortillas, on top of the cheeses.
• Spray a frying pan with non-stick cooking spray. Fold each tortilla in half and fry on medium-high heat, flipping until both sides are golden brown (about 2-3 minutes on each side).
• Cut in half and serve with sour cream.
