Asparagus and Goat Cheese Quesadillas image

From All Recipes. This one is for me! I never would have thought of putting cilantro with goat cheese. I made this when I happened to have all of the ingredients on hand. Quick dinner with some fruit. I used plain goat cheese, but the herbed kind would have been even better. Yum!

Tips:

  • Choose the right ingredients: Use fresh, high-quality ingredients for the best flavor. Look for asparagus that is firm and green, bacon that is thick-cut and not too salty, and goat cheese that is creamy and tangy.
  • Prepare the asparagus properly: Trim the tough ends of the asparagus and cut it into 2-inch pieces. You can also blanch the asparagus briefly in boiling water to help it retain its color and crispness.
  • Cook the bacon until it is crispy: This will help to add flavor and texture to the quesadilla. You can cook the bacon in a skillet over medium heat or in the oven at 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Use a good quality tortilla: A good quality tortilla will be less likely to tear when you fold it. You can use a flour tortilla or a corn tortilla, depending on your preference.
  • Don't overstuff the quesadilla: If you overstuff the quesadilla, it will be difficult to fold and cook evenly. Use just enough filling to cover the bottom of the tortilla.
  • Cook the quesadilla over medium heat: This will help to prevent the tortilla from burning. You can cook the quesadilla in a skillet or on a griddle.
  • Serve the quesadilla immediately: Quesadillas are best served hot and fresh. You can garnish them with sour cream, salsa, or guacamole.

Conclusion:

Asparagus, bacon, and goat cheese quesadillas are a delicious and easy-to-make meal. They are perfect for a quick lunch or dinner, and they can also be served as an appetizer. With a few simple tips, you can make the perfect quesadilla every time.
