Chorizo Quesadillas


Serves: 4
Total Calories: 620

Ingredients

FOR THE FILLING:
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
5 green onions, (white part only), finely chopped
1/2 pound Cremini mushrooms (stems removed), finely chopped
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/2 pound chorizo sausage, casing removed
1 teaspoon minced garlic
1 teaspoon finely chopped jalapeño pepper, with seeds

4 flour tortillas (10 inches)
1 cup grated Monterey Jack cheese
1/4 cup coarsely chopped fresh cilantro

Directions:

TO MAKE THE FILLING: In a medium sauté pan over medium-high heat, warm the olive oil and cook the green onions and mushrooms with the salt and pepper, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms are tender and the pan is dry, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a medium bowl.

Put the chorizo, garlic, and jalapeño in the sauté pan and cook over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, until the chorizo is browned, about 3 minutes. Add to the mushroom mixture and stir to evenly distribute the ingredients.

Place two of the tortillas on a work surface. Divide the filling between them, spreading it evenly to within one inch of the edges. Spread the cheese and cilantro over the filling and top with the remaining tortillas.

Carefully transfer the quesadillas to the cooking grate and grill over Direct Medium heat until well marked and the cheese has melted, about 2 minutes, carefully turning with a wide spatula once halfway through grilling time. Remove from the grill and allow to cool for a couple of minutes. Cut each quesadilla into eight wedges. Serve warm.
