Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 1/2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
4 (9 inch) flour tortillas
2 cups coarsely shredded cheese (recommended Spanish Manchego, aged Cheddar, California Dry Jack, or Monterey Jack)
1 cup trimmed and diced firm ripe green figs or 1 cup black fig
2 tablespoons minced red onions
2 tablespoons minced fresh cilantro

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°; brush a large baking sheet with olive oil.
  • Place the tortillas on the baking sheet.
  • Spread ¼ cup of the cheese on the bottom half of each tortilla.
  • Add a layer of figs (use about ¼ cup for each tortilla).
  • Sprinkle each with about ½ tablespoons red onion and ½ tablespoon cilantro; then top with ¼ cup of the remaining cheese.
  • Fold the tortilla over to make half-circles; press down lightly.
  • Bake about 8 minutes or until the tortillas are golden brown on the bottom.
  • Using a wide spatula, carefully turn the tortillas over; bake another 3 minutes or until the bottoms are golden.
  • Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let cool slightly.
  • Transfer the quesadillas to a cutting board; cut (using a knife or scissors) each one into 4 wedges.
  • Serve immediately.
