Quesadilla Stack Recipes

GARLIC-ONION TORTILLA STACK

Steps:

• Add the garlic to a skillet over low heat with a little olive oil and cook until the garlic just squishes.
• Meanwhile, in a large skillet over medium heat, heat the canola oil. Add the onions and cook until lightly browned but not overly dark, about 5 minutes, stirring regularly. Add the butter and sugar and cook until the onions have thoroughly browned, 20 to 25 minutes.
• Add the roasted garlic, Parmesan, mayonnaise, cilantro and salt and pepper to taste and stir to combine. Remove from the heat, transfer to a medium bowl and set aside to cool. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours.
• Reserve one-third of the mixture in the refrigerator to use to make the dipping sauce. Evenly spread the remaining mixture on the top of 11 of the tortillas. Stack the tortillas on top of one another and top with the remaining tortilla. Wrap the tortilla stack in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 12 to 24 hours to set up.
• Preheat a grill to medium. Cut the stack into 16 wedges. Using tongs, grill each wedge on the cut sides until it's warmed and grill marks appear.
• Mix the reserved onion mixture with the balsamic vinegar to make a dipping sauce; season to taste. Serve the wedges with the dipping sauce.

SPICY STEAK QUESADILLA

Steps:

• Lay out 2 of the flour tortillas on a flat surface. Top with 1/2 cup of the Cheddar, spreading evenly over the tortillas. Divide the steak among the tortillas and sprinkle with the desired amount of jalapeno. Top with salsa and remaining 1/4 cup cheese. Top with remaining tortillas and press to seal.
• Heat a large saute pan over high heat. Add enough oil to coat the bottom of the pan and lower the heat to medium. Cook until golden brown on both sides, about 3 minutes per side. Repeat with the other quesadilla.
• Let cool for 5 minutes. Slice into 8 or 10 pieces. Garnish with salsa and cilantro sprigs.

STACKED VEGGIE QUESADILLA

Steps:

• Place squash in microwave-safe bowl. Sprinkle water over, cover with plastic wrap, and microwave until just tender, about 3 minutes; drain. Heat 1 tablespoon oil in large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion and sauté until beginning to brown, about 3 minutes. Add squash; stir 1 minute. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Spread out squash in even layer over 1 tortilla. Add 1 tablespoon oil to skillet. Add beans, 1/4 cup salsa, garlic, and chili powder. Using potato masher, crush until beans are coarsely mashed; season with salt and pepper. Stir in 1/4 cup salsa. Spread over second tortilla. Sprinkle cheese over third tortilla. Leave fourth tortilla plain.
• Broil tortillas until cheese melts and vegetables are browned in spots, about 3 minutes, watching to prevent burning. Transfer black bean tortilla to plate; sprinkle 1/4 cup chopped cilantro over. Top with cheese tortilla, squash tortilla, then plain tortilla. Cut into 4 wedges. Garnish with sour cream, salsa, and cilantro sprigs.

QUESADILLA STACK WITH ONIONS AND CHEESE

Steps:

• 1. In a skillet, heat the oil over low heat and cook the onions, stirring frequently, until they are soft and light brown, 8 to 10 minutes. Add the vinegar, sugar, and 1 teaspoon of water. Cook, stirring, until the liquid evaporates, 2 to 3 minutes more. Transfer the onions to a bowl and cool. When the onions are lukewarm, add the oregano, cheese, mayonnaise, salt, and pepper. Mix and set aside. 2. Lay 2 tortillas on a flat surface. Spread 1/4 of the onion mixture on each tortilla. Place a second tortilla on top of the onion mixture and spread the remaining onion mixture equally on both tortillas. Lay the remaining 2 tortillas on top of each stack. Spread a thin film of butter on the top tortilla in each stack. Invert the two stacks and spread a thin film of butter on the unbuttered side. Put the two stacks on a plate with a piece of wax paper between them. If made ahead, cover and refrigerate until shortly before serving. 3. Heat a grill pan over medium high heat and lay 1 tortilla stack on the hot pan. Toast until crisp with grill marks from the pan ridges, about 1 to 2 minutes. Flip and brown the second side, 1 to 2 minutes. Repeat with the second stack. Cut each stack into 6 equal wedges. Serve warm. From "1,000 Mexican Recipes." Copyright 2001 by Marge Poore.
