Steps:

  • Toss together the Cheddar, Monterey Jack and pepper jack in a bowl; set aside.
  • Heat 2 tablespoons of the butter in large skillet over medium heat. Place a single tortilla in the skillet. Sprinkle a little less than a third of the cheese blend over the tortilla. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Add about a third of the diced tomato and a third of the chiles. Sprinkle a touch more cheese over the whole thing and gently top and press with a second tortilla. Cook until golden on the bottom, about 3 minutes.
  • Carefully flip the quesadilla to the other side. Continue cooking until the second side is golden, 3 to 4 minutes more. Repeat with the remaining ingredients. Slice each quesadilla into wedges and garnish with cilantro sprigs.

1 cup grated white Cheddar cheese
1 cup grated Monterey Jack cheese
1 cup grated pepper jack cheese
6 tablespoons salted butter
Six 8-inch flour tortillas
Pinch of kosher salt
Pinch of freshly ground black pepper
2 Roma tomatoes, diced
One 4-ounce can diced green chiles, drained
9 fresh cilantro sprigs, for garnish

QUICK SPECIAL QUESADILLA

I'm from the Imperial Valley which is pretty much home for the Special Quesadilla. Normally these can take a decent amount of time to prepare but this way is much simpler. Can be made as main course entree with beans and rice as sides or cut up for appetizers served with guacamole and salsa. The recipe is for 1 special quesadilla but I will usually make an entire package (12 tortillas) and that will be good for 6 servings depending on how hungry everyone is.

Steps:

  • Prepare an egg wash by mixing 1 egg with 2 tablespoons of water. Set aside.
  • Take 1 uncooked tortilla and add approximately 1/4 cup of the shredded cheese (more if you want it to be cheesier).
  • Fold tortilla in half.
  • Apply egg wash to the inside edge of the quesadilla.
  • Use your thumb to squeeze the quesadilla shut along the edges.
  • Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. The oil should be approximately 1/2 inch deep in the skillet.
  • Once the oil is hot carefully place the quesadilla into the oil. It should begin to lightly bubble as soon as it's place inside the oil. If it doesn't, the oil probably isn't hot enough.
  • After 20-30 seconds flip the quesadilla over. The cooked side should be a golden brown.
  • After 20-30 seconds remove the quesadilla and place on a plate with 2-3 paper towels to absorb any excess oil.
  • Serve hot.
  • Can be cut into halves or quarters if serving as appetizers.

  • Heat a medium skillet over medium heat. Warm your tortilla for about 30 seconds, flipping halfway. Flip once more, then sprinkle one-half of the tortilla with about half of the cheese. Cover the cheese evenly with the remaining fillings: beans, bell pepper, onion and jalapeño (if using).
  • Sprinkle the remaining cheese over the fillings, and fold over the empty side of the tortilla to enclose the fillings. Quickly brush the top of the quesadilla with a light coating of oil, then carefully flip it with a spatula.
  • Let the quesadilla cook until golden and crispy on the bottom, about 1 to 2 minutes, reducing the heat if necessary to prevent burning the tortilla. Brush the top with a light coating of oil, then flip it and cook until the second side is golden and crispy.
  • Immediately remove the skillet from the heat and transfer the quesadilla to a cutting board. Let it cool for a minute to give the cheese time to set, then use a chef’s knife to slice it into 3 pieces. Serve promptly, with any sauces or garnishes that you’d like.
