Best 5 Blue Cheese Quesadillas Recipes

BEEF, BLUE CHEESE AND SPINACH QUESADILLAS

Steps:

• Stir together the beef and taco sauce.
• Lay 2 tortillas flat and divide beef mixture between them.
• Sprinkle each tortilla with half the cheese, half the spinach and half the red pepper flakes. Top each with a remaining tortilla.
• Put a large, heavy nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Place one quesadilla in skillet and cook until brown spots form on bottom of tortilla, a few minutes each side. Flip and repeat; remove to a plate and cover to keep warm.

BLUE CORN, MUSHROOM AND CHEESE QUESADILLAS

Steps:

• For the porcinis: Heat the oil over medium heat in a large, heavy frying pan. Add the onions and cook, stirring, until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the mushrooms and chiles and continue cooking until golden brown, about 5 more minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Add the cilantro and set aside.
• For the blue corn tortillas: In a bowl, mix the harina de maiz azul, masa harina and salt with the warm water using a wooden spoon until a dough is formed, about 2 minutes. Let stand, covered tightly with plastic wrap, for 2 minutes.
• Divide the dough into 12 parts. Roll each part into a ball, keeping the balls you are not using in a plastic bag so that they don't dry out. (If the dough does get too dry, add a little extra water.)
• Place a ball on a sheet of plastic wrap and cover it with another sheet. Flatten slightly with the palm of your hand, and then finish rolling with a rolling pin, working quickly and lightly. Flip the package over and repeat until an approximately 6-inch circle is formed. Repeat with all the dough balls.
• Preheat a flat griddle or pan to high heat.
• Peel away the top layer of plastic wrap, flip the package over gently and peel away the other piece of plastic wrap. Transfer to the griddle.
• Bake on the first side for about 30 seconds. Flip and bake on the second side for about 30 seconds. Flip once again. Remove from the griddle and keep warm.
• To assemble, spread with a quarter of the cheese on 1 tortilla. Garnish with a quarter of the mushrooms and top with another tortilla. Place on the griddle, turn the heat down to medium-high and press down gently. Cook until the cheese begins to melt. Flip the quesadilla, and heat for another minute. Repeat with the remaining ingredients. Serve with salsa if desired.
