Roasted Red Pepper Jalapeno Quesadillas Recipes

ROASTED RED PEPPER QUESADILLAS

Steps:

• Cook bacon until crisp in medium non-stick skillet. Remove bacon. Skip this step if you want it meatless.
• Add onion and garlic to bacon fat (or olive oil if vegetarian) and sauté until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes.
• Add roasted red peppers and saute for an additional 2 minutes. Remove vegetables from pan and let them drain.
• Wash pan clean and make sure to dry it well. Place pan back on burner and heat over medium heat. You want to give the cheese time to melt without burning the tortilla.
• Place 1 tortilla in hot pan and brown on one side. Repeat with other tortillas.

ROASTED RED PEPPER & GOAT CHEESE QUESADILLAS

Steps:

• Lay out 6 tortillas on a table.
• Divide the Chavrie® up evenly among the tortillas and spread out to the edges.
• Drain the peppers and slice in 1/4 inch strips.
• Evenly distribute the roasted red peppers strips among the cheese on the tortillas.
• Top each with the remaining tortillas.
• Sauté the quesadillas in the butter or oil in a non stick pan until each side is golden brown and slightly crispy.
• Place on a towel to drain.
• Cut each quesadilla into six wedges and serve with your favorite salsa.

JALAPENO POPPER QUESADILLAS

Steps:

• Set oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.
• Arrange jalapeno peppers, cut-side down, on the prepared baking sheet.
• Broil jalapeno peppers in the preheated oven until skins are bubbling and blackened, 10 to 15 minutes. Immediately place peppers in a resealable plastic bag; seal. Allow peppers to steam in bag to help loosen skins, about 20 minutes. Carefully open bag, pull skins off peppers, and chop peppers.
• Spread half the butter onto 1 side of each tortilla. Spread half the cream cheese onto the other side of each tortilla. Sprinkle half the jalapeno peppers, half the Mexican cheese blend, and half the tortilla chips over the cream cheese-side of each tortilla. Fold each tortilla in half over the fillings with butter-side on the outside.
• Heat a skillet over medium-low heat; cook 1 quesadilla in the hot skillet until golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Repeat with second quesadilla.
