Time 30m

Yield Six servings

Number Of Ingredients 23

1 pound fresh tomatillas (about 12), husked
2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
1 jalapeno pepper, seeded and minced
2 teaspoons fresh lime juice
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
2 cups hot, cooked black beans
2 teaspoons olive oil
4 teaspoons fresh lime juice
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 clove garlic, peeled and minced
1/4 cup chopped scallions
Freshly ground pepper to taste
6 ounces soft goat cheese
6 small flour tortillas
6 large slices smoked salmon
1/4 cup orange juice
2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
2 teaspoon walnut oil
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
Freshly ground pepper to taste
10 cups stemmed arugula
2 yellow bell peppers, cored and cut into thin strips

Steps:

  • To make the salsa, pulse the tomatillas in a food processor until well combined. Set aside.
  • To make the quesadillas, gently combine the hot beans, the oil, lime juice, salt, garlic, scallions and pepper to taste. Keep warm. Spread about 2 tablespoons of goat cheese over half of each tortilla. Using a heaping 1/4 cup of the bean mixture for each tortilla, press the beans into the goat cheese. Trim the salmon slices to fit half of the tortilla and lay the slices with the trimmings over the beans. Fold the tortilla in half and press the sides together. Set aside.
  • To make the salad, whisk together the juices and mustard. Whisk in the walnut oil, salt and pepper. Place the arugula in a bowl and toss with the yellow peppers. Toss with the dressing.
  • Heat a large nonstick skillet. Working in batches, cook the quesadillas until browned and heated through, about 1 to 1 1/2 minutes per side. Cut each into 3 triangles.
  • Spoon a little of the salsa onto the center of 6 large plates. Place 3 quesadilla triangles around the salsa. Arrange the salad in a circle around the edge of the plates and serve immediately.

Quesadillas were a bit too oily for my taste. Maybe I'll use less butter next time.

Quesadillas were a bit bland for my taste, even with the smoked salmon. Maybe I'll add some salsa or guacamole next time.

Quesadillas were falling apart when I tried to flip them. I think I didn't let them cook long enough.

Not a fan of black beans, so I substituted them with corn. Still turned out great!

Quesadillas were a bit too salty for my taste. Maybe next time I'll use less salt.
