Portobello Quesadilla Food

JAMAICAN JERK PORTOBELLO MUSHROOM QUESADILLAS

Steps:

• Saute thinly sliced mushrooms in a teaspoon or so of EVOO. Throw in some jerk seasoning, kosher salt and cayenne -- if you have very fresh, potent cayenne, be careful! Taste to check seasonings. This is very important--without proper seasoning, this recipe will come out bland.
• Mushrooms love to soak up oil; be prepared to add a bit more if they start to stick.
• Saute until mushrooms are limp and slightly shrunk from the heat and salt.
• MEanwhile, prep quesadillas by shredding cheese onto three tortillas.
• Arrange one-fourth of the mushrooms on each cheese-covered tortilla.
• Put the quesadillas together and fry over medium head in EVOO, flipping at least once.
• Enjoy with your favorite hot sauce drizzled on top. Guacamole would also be great!

PORTABELLA & SUN-DRIED TOMATO QUESADILLA

Steps:

• On one half of each tortilla, layer evenly all the ingredients in the order given.
• Fold each tortilla over to create a "half moon" and press down lightly.
• Coat the skillet or griddle with a light mist of cooking spray and warm to a medium-low heat. Cook each quesadilla for two to three minutes on each side until lightly browned and the cheese melts. Remove from pan and cut each into 3 wedges and serve with a light ranch dressing or salsa.

SPINACH AND MUSHROOM QUESADILLAS

Steps:

• Prepare spinach according to package directions. Drain and pat dry.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Sprinkle 1/2 cup cheese on one side of each tortilla. Place tortillas cheese side up on baking sheets, and bake 5 minutes, or until cheese is melted.
• Melt the butter in a skillet over medium heat. Stir in garlic and mushrooms, and cook about 5 minutes. Mix in spinach, and continue cooking 5 minutes. Place an equal amount of the mixture on the cheese side of each tortilla. Fold tortillas in half over the filling.
• Heat oil in a separate skillet over medium heat. Place quesadillas in the skillet one at a time, and cook 3 minutes on each side, until golden brown. Cut each quesadilla into 4 wedges to serve.

GRILLED PORTOBELLO QUESADILLAS

Steps:

• Heat grill to medium. In a small bowl, whisk together oil and vinegar; season with salt and pepper. Brush both sides of mushrooms with oil mixture; starting with stem side up, grill mushrooms until tender when pierced with the tip of a sharp paring knife, 8 to 12 minutes, turning once. Remove from grill; slice 1/2 inch thick.
• Layer one half of each tortilla with cheese, scallions, mushroom slices, and then more cheese, dividing toppings evenly. Fold tortilla over filling; using your hands, carefully transfer filled tortilla to grill. Cook until tortilla is slightly charred and cheese is melted, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Serve with salsa, and garnish with sour cream, if desired.
