Fig And Jalapeno Quesadillas Food

BACON, JACK AND JALAPENO QUESADILLAS

Steps:

• Mash the avocado with the garlic, lemon juice and salt and pepper, to taste. Reserve covered in the refrigerator.
• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
• Cook the bacon in a medium saute pan until browned and crisp and transfer to a paper towel lined plate to drain. Crumble and reserve.
• Pour off and reserve all the bacon fat. Saute the onion, garlic, and jalapeno seasoned with the cumin, coriander and salt and pepper, to taste, in a couple tablespoons bacon grease. On 2 tortillas sprinkle half of the grated cheese. Then layer equal amounts of the onion mixture, crumbled bacon, and the remaining grated cheese. Top with the other 2 tortillas.
• Fry quesadillas in bacon grease turning until cheese is fully melted and the tortillas are crisp, about 5 minutes.
• Cut into wedges and serve with the guacamole, sour cream and cilantro on top.

PROSCIUTTO, FIG, AND GOAT CHEESE QUESADILLAS

Steps:

• Set up grill for direct cooking over medium heat. Oil grate when ready to start cooking.
• Lay out 4 tortillas; spread each with half of the goat cheese. Divide prosciutto and figs and place on top of goat cheese. Top with jack cheese and remaining tortillas. Cook on hot oiled grill 3 to 4 minutes per side or until cheese has melted. Serve hot with fig preserves on side.
• INDOOR: Prepare quesadillas as directed. In a skillet large enough to fit tortillas or an electric griddle, heat 1 to 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil over medium heat. When oil is hot, carefully fry both sides of quesadillas for 2 to 3 minutes or until golden brown; turning with a large spatula. Garnish as directed.

JALAPENO POPPER QUESADILLAS

Steps:

• Tortillas -- Wrap up the 4 of the tortillas in a damp paper towel and heat on medium heat for about 30 seconds. Just until they are slightly warm.
• Filling -- Top each of the tortillas with 1 tablespoon of the the herb cheese, (I like to use a good herb cheese, but a cream cheese with chives work, or even one with onions and chives. That is all personal preference), top 1/2 (1 side) of the tortilla with 1 of the minced jalapenos, then 1/4 of the bacon, and 1/4 cup of the shredded cheese. Season with a pinch of both salt and pepper. Fold over the side not filled to make a 1/2 moon shape.
• Grill -- Brush each side of the tortilla, with olive oil and either grill, inside or out or bake. They take just a few minutes per side until golden brown and then flip. They don't take long so keep an eye on them. If you use the oven 400 for about 10-12 minutes on a cookie sheet, middle shelf, uncovered. And same thing -- flip half way through the cooking process.
• Serve -- You could serve with sour cream if you want, but for me. Nothing is needed. Just slice them in wedges and ENJOY! Cheesy, spicy and creamy.

QUESADILLAS

Steps:

• For service: good store-bought salsa of your choice
• Preheat a grill pan over medium-high heat.
• Place the tortilla wrap on the counter in front of you and cover with the ham.
• Over 1/2 only, sprinkle the chopped pickled jalapeno, the grated cheese and the chopped scallion. Scatter over the cilantro leaves.
• Carefully fold the tortilla wrap in half, that's to say, fold the untopped half over the cheese so you have a fat half moon.
• Lift this is up carefully and brush each side with the oil before putting it on the hot griddle; grill for a minute each side.
• Using a steady hand and a wide fine spatula or fish slice, transfer the tortilla to a board or plate and cut into 3 triangles. Eat with some salsa on the side. And please feel free to play with the fillings as you wish.

BACON JACK AND JALAPENO QUESADILLAS

Steps:

• Guacamole: Coarsely mash the avocado in a large bowl. Add the tomato, scallions, lime juice, cilantro, jalapeno, and garlic until blended. Cover and chill until ready to serve.
• Quesadillas: Preheat oven to 450 degrees F. Spray a large baking sheet with cooking spray.
• Lightly spray a medium nonstick skillet with cooking spray and set over medium-high heat. Add the bacon and cook, turning occasionally, until browned, 3 to 4 minutes. Transfer the bacon to paper towels to drain. Crumble and set aside.
• To the same skillet, add the scallions, jalapeno, garlic, cumin, and coriander. Cook, stirring often, over medium heat, until the scallions are soft, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from the heat.
• Place the tortillas on the baking sheet; sprinkle 1/3 of the cheese, 1/3 of the scallion mixture, and 1/3 of the bacon over half of each tortilla. Fold the unfilled half of each tortilla over the filling. Lightly spray the quesadillas with cooking spray. Bake until lightly browned and crisp, 8 to 10 minutes.

MARINATED BEEF GRILLED WITH CHORIZO AND JALAPEñOS SERVED WITH GRILLED QUESADILLAS

Steps:

• In a large bowl, whisk together the lime juice, orange juice, oil, oregano, salt and pepper. Add the onion and garlic and toss with your hands to combine. Add the beef and toss to coat. Cover the bowl tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour and up to 12 hours.
• Prepare a gas grill for two-zone heat: Set one burner at medium-high and one or two burners at high. (Alternatively, prepare a charcoal grill for high heat.)
• Remove the steaks from the marinade, shaking off any excess and brushing off and reserving any onions that are stuck to the meat. Drain the onions in a fine-mesh sieve set over the sink - discard the marinade and save the onions.
• Grill the beef over high heat, turning once, for 2 to 3 minutes per side for medium-rare. Transfer to a cutting board and let rest for 10 minutes.
• If the onions have fallen apart, they will be easier to sauté rather than grill, unless you have a vegetable grill basket-and if you do, I recommend using it (even if the onions didn't fall apart, a grill basket will help prevent them from slipping through the grill grates). Grill or sauté the onions until they are charred on all sides, for 4 to 8 minutes. Transfer to a plate.
• Grill the chorizo, turning occasionally, until charred on all sides and cooked through, for 2 to 3 minutes per side.
• Grill the whole jalapeños and scallions over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until charred and tender, for 4 to 8 minutes. Transfer to a large bowl and toss with a squeeze of lime juice, a drizzle of oil and a pinch of salt.
• To make the quesadillas, toast one side of the tortillas over the medium-high side of the grill until lightly charred, for about 1 minute. Flip and place a small mound of cheese on the charred side, then fold in half like a taco and continue to grill until the cheese begins to melt and the tortilla is lightly charred, for about 1 minute. Flip again to char the other side.
• Serve the quesadillas along with grilled tortillas and you can make tacos or stuff the quesadillas with carne asada, chorizo, chiles jalapeños, scallions, guacamole, salsa tatemada and cilantro. Serve with the refried beans and lime wedges for squeezing.

QUESADILLA JALAPENO SPREAD

JALAPENO POPPER CHICKEN QUESADILLAS

• Mix together the cream cheese and the jalapenos. Spread the mixture evenly over the flour tortillas. Top half of each tortilla with a strip of bacon, 1/4 cup cheddar cheese and some of the chicken. Fold the top of the tortilla over the filling and press together gently.
• Cook the quesadillas in batches in a skillet coated with cooking spray until both sides are browned. Cut into triangles and serve.

FIG-JALAPENO JAM RECIPE - (3.6/5)

Steps:

• In a saucepan, combine all ingredients. Stir well. Heat to a simmer over low heat. Simmer for 30 minutes uncovered, stirring occasionally. Cover and simmer an additional 30 minutes, stirring occasionally. If desired, mash slightly with a fork once jam is done. *Note: Make sure you use a spicy jalapeno. Some jalapenos taste like bell pepper and won't give this jam the kick you're looking for. - See more at: http://www.tasty-trials.com/2011/09/times-they-are-changin.html#sthash.esWdsPEa.dpuf
