Green Chili Quesadillas

 

Perfect as a quick snack, appetizer, or as an easy side for Mexican soups, rice or bean dishes. If you do not have fresh southwest hatch chilies available, seek out frozen green chilies. Otherwise, the green chilies diced and in a can will work too.

Ingredients

  • 2 whole wheat tortillas, or twice as many corn tortillas to make this gluten-free
  • ¾ cup monterey jack , shredded, or your favorite cheese
  • 2 hatch chilis, or a small can diced

Serving Size: 2 People

Preparation Instructions

In a skillet:
Warm a skillet over medium heat. Place the tortilla in the pan and warm on one side for about 1 minute. Flip over and sprinkle half of the cheese and green chiles onto half of the tortilla. Fold over and sear on both sides for 2-4 minutes until the cheese is melted. Repeat with the second tortilla.

In an oven:
This is a great option if you are preparing quesadillas for a crowd.
Preheat oven to 350. Place the tortillas on the baking sheet and divide the cheese and chiles on to each. Fold in half over the cheese or leave them whole with a whole tortilla on top. Bake for 4-8 minutes, flipping half way until toasted and the cheese has melted.

If you like a more ‘fried’ quesadilla, rub or spray a little vegetable oil on to the outside of the tortillas before cooking.
