Time 40m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 16

2 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 an onion, diced (1 cup)
4 garlic cloves, rough chopped
4 cups finely chopped veggies: bell pepper, zucchini, summer squash, mushrooms, broccoli, sweet potato, corn, etc. ( Chop the veggies small, so they cook faster!)
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon cumin
1 teaspoon coriander
1 teaspoon chili powder
1-2 cups chopped greens- beet greens, turnip greens, spinach, chard, etc.
1 cup black beans (cooked or canned)
2 tablespoons water
1/4 cup cilantro, chopped- optional
1 teaspoon lime zest- optional
1/4 cup sour cream (or yogurt)
2-3 tablespoons hot sauce (fermented hot sauce is great here)

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400F (or preheat grill to medium)
  • Heat oil in an extra-large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onion and garlic, saute 3-4 minutes until fragrant. Lower heat to medium, and add the chopped veggies and salt. Stir occasionally until the veggies soften (check) and release their liquid, about 10 minutes (lower heat if need be). Add the oregano, cumin, coriander, chili powder and give a good stir. Add the chopped greens and black beans and a couple of tablespoons of water, and stir until the greens wilt 1-2 minutes. Turn heat off. Stir in optional cilantro and lime zest.
  • Scatter 1/2 cup cheese over the whole tortilla. Add one cup of veggie filling over half of the tortilla. Fold the Tortilla in half so the filling is encased with cheese (see photo). Brush the outer side of the tortilla with oil, and place in a hot oven for 15 minutes. You can place the greased quesadilla directly on the oven grates, or on a parchment-lined sheet pan, flipping halfway through. Bake until tortilla is crispy and cheese is melty.
  • Cut each into 4 pieces and serve with the Spicy Sour Cream and Pico De Gallo
  • To make the spicy sour cream- simply mix a few tablespoons of hot sauce with the sour cream in a little bowl.

LOADED VEGETABLE QUESADILLAS



Loaded Vegetable Quesadillas image

Provided by Alex Guarnaschelli

Categories     main-dish

Time 2h35m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 medium red bell peppers
8 to 10 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 medium zucchini, halved and cut into 1/2-inch half-moons
Kosher salt
6 scallions, minced
3 large cloves garlic, thinly sliced
1 pint cherry tomatoes, halved
1 to 1/2 teaspoon chili powder
One 15.5-ounce can black beans, drained
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
12 medium corn tortillas
1 1/2 to 1 3/4 cups shredded Monterey Jack cheese
Sour cream, for serving
1 fresh cayenne pepper, sliced thin
1/2 cup fresh cilantro leaves

Steps:

  • Place the bell peppers directly over a gas flame. Char on all sides until the skin burns, 3 to 5 minutes. Refrigerate them to cool quickly, 5 to 10 minutes.
  • Place the peppers on a flat surface. Remove the top core and open the pepper up so it lies flat on the cutting board, charred skin-side up. Use a kitchen towel to wipe the charred skin away. Remove the seeds and slice the peppers lengthwise into 1/2-inch slices.
  • Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large saute pan over medium heat until it begins to smoke lightly. Add the zucchini, then sprinkle with salt and cook until tender and lightly browned, 3 to 5 minutes. Transfer to a bowl or baking sheet to cool.
  • Add 2 tablespoons olive oil to the same pan where you cooked the zucchini, followed by the scallions and garlic. Sprinkle with a pinch of salt and cook over medium heat until they become tender, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the tomatoes and chili powder and cook until the tomatoes break down a little, 5 to 8 minutes. Stir in the black beans and vinegar and cook, gently pressing on the beans with the back of a spoon to crush and mix with the tomatoes, until the vinegar cooks down, 2 to 3 minutes. Taste for seasoning. Transfer to a bowl and allow to cool for about 30 minutes.
  • Arrange 6 tortillas on a baking sheet and spread each with about 2 tablespoons of the bean mixture. Drain any moisture from the peppers and zucchini and gently press them both on top of the black bean mixture to make it all stick together, then top with the cheese. Press the remaining 6 tortillas on top of the filling. Top with another baking sheet and gently press down to flatten the filling and make the quesadillas sturdy. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes and up to overnight.
  • Preheat the oven to 200 degrees F.
  • Heat a grill pan or large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1 tablespoon oil and heat until it smokes lightly. Add 2 quesadillas, side-by-side, and brown on the first side, 2 to 3 minutes. Use a metal spatula to flip them on their second side. Add about another tablespoon of oil and cook until browned around the edges, an additional 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer to a sheet tray. Repeat with the remaining quesadillas in batches of 2, keeping the cooked quesadillas warm in the oven.
  • On a flat surface, cut each quesadilla into quarters and arrange on individual plates or a large serving platter. Top with the sour cream, sliced cayenne pepper and cilantro leaves.

Time 25m

Yield Makes 4 quesadillas

Number Of Ingredients 15

4 medium to large flour or corn tortillas, see our homemade flour tortilla recipe
1 tablespoon neutral oil or butter
5 ounces mushrooms, sliced (about 2 cups sliced)
1 small onion, sliced
1 bell pepper or poblano pepper, seeds removed and sliced
3 cups torn kale leaves or spinach
1/4 teaspoon onion powder
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
1/4 teaspoon oregano, preferably Mexican oregano
1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika
1/4 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
5 ounces melting cheese like Monterey Jack, shredded (about 1 1/4 cups)
Spray oil or oil brushed onto pan

Steps:

  • Heat the oil or butter in a wide skillet over medium-high heat. Add mushrooms and spread into one layer. Cook, without moving, until browned on one side, 3 to 5 minutes.
  • Stir the mushrooms around the pan, and then add the sliced onions, peppers, onion powder, garlic powder, cumin, oregano, smoked paprika, pepper and the salt. Cook the vegetables until the onions have softened and smell sweet, about 5 minutes. Add the kale or spinach and cook until bright green and wilted, another 2 to 3 minutes.
  • Make quesadillas or transfer the cooked vegetables to an airtight container and refrigerate up to 5 days.
  • Heat a heavy-bottomed skillet over medium heat. Lightly spray the pan or brush it with oil, and then place one tortilla down into the pan.
  • Spread a quarter of the cheese over the tortilla and then spoon a quarter of the cooked vegetable mixture onto one half. Carefully fold the tortilla in half, and then use a spatula to press the top down so that it stays folded. Cook until the underside is toasted, about 2 minutes.
  • Carefully flip the quesadilla and cook until the second side is toasted and the cheese is melted, 1 to 2 minutes. Transfer the quesadilla to a cutting board and cut in half. Repeat with remaining quesadillas.
  • Keep cooked quesadillas warm in a 200 degree F oven while you finish making the remaining quesadillas.
