Cowboy Chipotle Mango Quesadillas Food

MANGO BRIE QUESADILLA

Steps:

• Remove Brie from freezer to let warm up. Carefully remove skin from mango and cut away from seed as much of meat as possible (remember mangos have a flat seed, so you should be able to get 2 large meaty pieces) Carefully slice mango into thin strips. By this time the Brie has begun to thaw, and should slice easily into very thin strips. (Brie, being such a soft cheese, could never otherwise be sliced, unless frozen first.) Lay a tortilla on a work surface and place 2/3 of the Brie slices on the tortilla. Add about 6 to 8 of the mango slices, and top with remaining Brie. (This will glue the quesadilla together when cooked.) Top with remaining tortilla and press together.
• Heat nonstick 10-inch saute pan and add butter on medium heat. Saute quesadilla until golden brown on both sides. Remove from heat and allow to cool 5 minutes, cut into 8 slices and top with Avocado Salsa.
• In a large bowl, mix together all salsa ingredients. Let sit at room temperature for at least 15 minutes to let the flavors mingle.

GRANDS! CHICKEN-BACON QUESADILLAS

Steps:

• In small bowl, mix sour cream, 1 sliced green onion and 1 tablespoon of the ranch dip mix. In another small bowl, mix salsa, preserves and 1 tablespoon of the cilantro.
• Heat closed medium-size contact grill for 5 minutes; spray grill plates with Crisco® Original No-Stick Cooking Spray. Meanwhile, in medium bowl, mix chicken, cheese, bacon and remaining green onions, cilantro and ranch dip mix.
• Separate dough into 8 biscuits; press or roll each into 5-inch round. Place 1/4 cup chicken mixture on one side of each biscuit round. Fold biscuit over filling; press edges to seal.
• Place biscuits, two at a time, on grill; close grill. Cook 2 to 3 minutes or until golden brown. Cut each quesadilla into 3 wedges. Serve with sour cream and salsa mixtures.

DOS TOROS QUESADILLAS

Steps:

• For the steak: Preheat a griddle or grill pan over high heat.
• Season both sides of the steak with the paprika and some salt and pepper. Add the oil to the griddle and cook the steak for about 3 minutes per side to medium rare. Let rest for 10 minutes before slicing into strips against the grain.
• For the quesadillas: Preheat a griddle or large skillet over medium-high heat.
• Brush the griddle with 1 tablespoon of the corn oil. Place a tortilla onto the griddle and sprinkle with about 1/2 cup of the cheese. Cook until the cheese starts to melt and the tortilla turns light brown. Place about 4 slices of steak, 1/4 cup tomato salsa, 1/4 cup guacamole and some hot sauce on top of the cheese in a vertical line. Fold the outside thirds into the middle. Remove to a plate and enjoy. Repeat with the remaining ingredients.
• Combine the tomatoes, onions, cilantro, lime juice and salt in a bowl and mix.
• In a large bowl, combine the avocados and salt. Lightly mash the avocados with a fork, leaving them a little chunky. Add the lime juice, red onion and cilantro and gently mix together until combined.
• Heat a grill to medium-high heat. Grill the jalapenos for about 8 minutes or until all sides are lightly charred.
• Combine the jalapenos, tomatillos, onions, garlic, salt and 2 cups water in a medium pot and cook on medium heat until the peppers are soft, approximately 30 minutes. Let cool slightly, then transfer to a blender and blend until smooth. Transfer to a bowl and let cool. Store in a resealable container.

COWBOY CHICKEN

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Place the chicken in a shallow baking dish. In a medium bowl, stir together the salsa, brown sugar and mustard; pour over the chicken. Cover the dish with aluminum foil.
• Bake for 1 hour in the preheated oven, until chicken is cooked through. Remove the foil for the last 15 minutes to brown the chicken.

COWBOY CHILI

Steps:

• In a large saucepan, combine all ingredients. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, for 10-15 minutes or until pepper is crisp-tender.

COWBOY CAVIAR QUESADILLAS

Steps:

• For the cowboy caviar: Preheat a grill pan over high heat or prepare a grill for high heat and oil the grill grates. Place the corn on the grill pan or grill and cook, turning, until charred in spots, about 8 minutes. Transfer to a cutting board.
• When the corn is cool enough to handle, cut off the kernels and put in a medium bowl. Add the black beans, avocado, cilantro, tomatoes and scallions.
• Put the lime juice, olive oil, garlic and cumin in a small bowl. Season with salt and whisk together. Pour the dressing over the vegetable mixture and gently toss until coated. Allow to sit for 30 minutes.
• For quesadillas: Lay the tortillas on a work surface. Brush one side of each tortilla with oil. Flip and top one side of each tortilla in this order: 1/4 cup cheese, a healthy helping of cowboy caviar and 1/4 cup cheese. Fold the tortillas over the filling and gently press.
• Heat a large cast-iron skillet or heavy-bottomed pan over medium-high heat. Working in two batches, cook the quesadillas until the cheese melts and the tortilla is lightly browned, about 2 minutes per side.
• Cut into wedges and serve with more cowboy caviar. Enjoy!
