Salsa Stoup And Double Decker Baked Quesadillas Food

BAKED QUESADILLAS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• Lay out two tortillas on two baking sheets.
• Sprinkle a layer of cheese over each tortilla.
• Sprinkle other toppings over each tortilla.
• Sprinkle the remaining cheese over the fillings.
• Lay the other tortillas on top.
• Bake for about 10 minutes, or until cheese is melted and tortillas have reached desired crispiness.
• Top with salsa and sour cream.
• Other ideas: fill with onions, jalapenos, tomatoes, cilantro, whatever leftover meats you have on hand, diced or ground. You could also top with guacamole.

RESTAURANT-STYLE SALSA

Steps:

• Combine the diced tomatoes, whole tomatoes, cilantro, onions, garlic, jalapeno, cumin, salt, sugar and lime juice in a blender or food processor. (This is a very large batch. I recommend using a 12-cup food processor, or you can process the ingredients in batches and then mix everything together in a large mixing bowl.)
• Pulse until you get the salsa to the consistency you'd like. I do about 10 to 15 pulses. Test seasonings with a tortilla chip and adjust as needed.
• Refrigerate the salsa for at least an hour before serving.

ROASTED POBLANO QUESADILLAS

Steps:

• Heat the broiler to high.
• Char the poblanos under the broiler to blacken their skins on all sides, 7 to 8 minutes. Place in a bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and let stand 10 minutes.
• Peel and seed the peppers, then slice. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Add a drizzle of extra-virgin olive oil and add a tortilla, cover the tortilla with 1/2 cup cheese and 1/4 of the peppers. Fold the tortilla in half and cook 2 minutes to crisp and char the tortilla evenly and melt cheese. Remove and cut into wedges; repeat.

SALSA STOUP AND DOUBLE DECKER BAKED QUESADILLAS

Steps:

• Heat a medium soup pot over medium high heat. Add the vegetable oil and the jalapenos, bell peppers, onions, celery and garlic. Season with salt and pepper, then sauté the veggies for 5 minutes.
• Add all the tomatoes and stock and bring to a bubble. Reduce the heat to a simmer and stir in the cilantro.
• Paint one side of 2 tortillas with oil and place them, oil side down, on a large cookie sheet.
• Mix the cheddar with the scallions and divide them between the tortillas evenly.
• Top with another tortilla and top each of these with equal amounts of pepper jack cheese.
• Set the last tortillas on top and brush the tops with oil.
• Bake the quesadillas for 10 minutes, and then cool for 5 minutes to set. Cut each into 6 wedges.
• Serve each bowl of stoup with 3 wedges of quesadilla and sour cream for topping either.
