ONE-PAN PARMESAN-CRUSTED VEGETABLE QUESADILLAS

Provided by Jet Tila

Categories     main-dish

Time 25m

Yield Makes 4 quesadillas

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 ounces (56 grams) freshly grated Parmesan cheese, plus 1 cup for crusting
2 ounces (56 grams) shredded mozzarella
2 ounces (56 grams) shredded Cheddar
2 ounces fresh spinach (about 2 cups), sliced
3/4 cup cooked quinoa
1/2 cup frozen whole kernel corn
1/2 cup drained, canned unsalted black beans, rinsed and drained again
Four 8-inch (20-centimeter) flour tortillas
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Nonstick cooking spray

Steps:

  • Combine the 2 ounces Parmesan with the mozzarella and Cheddar with your fingers in a small bowl and set aside.
  • Wrap the spinach in paper towels to remove excess moisture. Transfer to a large bowl and add the quinoa, corn and beans. Stir to combine and set aside.
  • Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium heat.
  • Meanwhile, place the tortillas on a clean work surface. Working on only the lower halves, divide 1/2 of the cheese blend among the 4 tortillas; top with the spinach-quinoa filling, then sprinkle on the remaining cheese blend. The cheeses are usually salty enough, but season with salt and pepper, if desired. Fold each tortilla in half to make a half-moon.
  • Spray the preheated skillet with nonstick cooking spray for about 3 seconds to coat. Add 2 of the quesadillas to the skillet and cook until the cheese starts to melt and the tortillas are light brown, about 3 minutes. Transfer the quesadillas, cooked side-down, to a plate. Repeat with the remaining 2 quesadillas.
  • Sprinkle 1/4 cup of the Parmesan into the skillet in a half-moon shape, then place 1 quesadilla, cooked side-up, directly on the Parmesan to create a crust. Continue to cook until the Parmesan crust browns and the cheese filling is fully melted, about 3 minutes. Remove from the heat and repeat with the remaining Parmesan and quesadillas. Serve immediately or make ahead and keep warm (see Cook's Note).

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h10m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 orange bell pepper, stemmed, seeded and sliced
1 red bell pepper, stemmed, seeded and sliced
1 yellow bell pepper, stemmed, seeded and sliced
1 medium white onion, sliced
1 zucchini, outer green parts only, cut into 3-by-1/4-inch sticks
3/4 teaspoon smoked paprika
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, plus more to taste
Freshly ground black pepper
1 large clove garlic, grated
1 tablespoon chopped fresh oregano leaves
Nonstick cooking spray, for the pan
Eight to ten 5- to 6-inch white corn tortillas
One 8-ounce bag shredded Monterey Jack and Cheddar mix
Lime wedges, for serving
Sour cream and salsa verde or roja, for dipping (optional)

Steps:

  • Heat the oil in a 12-inch cast-iron pan over medium-high heat. Add the peppers, onion and zucchini. Season with the smoked paprika, salt and pepper. Toss to coat with the oil. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are softened and browning, 10 to 12 minutes. Add the garlic and oregano and stir to combine. Cook until fragrant, 1 to 2 minutes. Turn off the heat.
  • Heat a large nonstick pan over medium-high heat. Grease the pan with the cooking spray. Carefully place a tortilla in the hot pan. Add 3 tablespoons cheese to half of the tortilla, spreading the cheese to the edges and allowing some to spill over to create a cheesy crust. Top with a hearty spoonful of the cooked pepper mixture, then top with another 3 tablespoons cheese. Fold the bare half of the tortilla over the cheese and pepper filling. Press down to flatten with a spatula. Cook until the cheese is melted and crusty and the tortilla is browned, 3 to 4 minutes. Flip and cook for another 2 to 3 minutes. Remove to a serving platter. Season with salt and a squeeze of lime. Repeat with the remaining tortillas, peppers and cheese, wiping down the pan as needed. Serve with sour cream and salsa for dipping, if desired.

Time 50m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 21

1 tablespoon dried oregano
1 tablespoon dried parsley
1 teaspoon paprika
½ teaspoon garlic powder
¼ teaspoon seasoned salt, or to taste
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper, or to taste
½ pound fresh green beans, trimmed
1 small red potato, diced
1 sweet bell pepper, chopped
1 cup broccoli florets, chopped
1 tablespoon minced garlic
3 tablespoons olive oil
⅓ cup all-purpose flour
4 tablespoons butter, melted
1 cup panko bread crumbs
1 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese, divided
1 ½ pounds skinless, boneless chicken breasts, pounded flat
½ cup mayonnaise
¼ cup ketchup
½ teaspoon garlic powder
¼ teaspoon Worcestershire sauce

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a sheet pan with parchment paper.
  • Combine oregano, parsley, paprika, garlic powder, seasoned salt, and pepper in a small bowl.
  • Place green beans, potato, bell pepper, broccoli, and garlic on the prepared sheet pan. Drizzle olive oil on top and sprinkle with 1/2 of the seasoning mix; toss to coat. Spread vegetables on one side of the pan.
  • Place flour in a bowl. Place melted butter in a second bowl. Combine panko, 2/3 cup Parmesan cheese, and the remaining 1/2 of the seasoning mix in a third bowl.
  • Remove any excess fat from chicken breasts and slice into 1 1/4 inch strips. Coat chicken strips in flour, then dredge in melted butter, and then dip in the Parmesan-panko mixture until heavily coated. Place on the empty half of the sheet pan and sprinkle with any remaining Parmesan-panko mixture, pressing onto the chicken.

Bake until chicken juices run clear and veggies are crisp-tender, 10 to 15 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of the chicken should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
  • While the chicken is baking, whisk together mayonnaise, ketchup, garlic powder, and Worcestershire sauce.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh vegetables: Use crisp, brightly colored vegetables for the best flavor and texture.
  • Cut vegetables evenly: This will help them cook evenly.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: If you overcrowd the pan, the vegetables will steam instead of roast.
  • Season the vegetables generously: Use a variety of seasonings to add flavor to the vegetables.
  • Roast the vegetables until they are tender-crisp: This will give them a slightly caramelized flavor.
  • Use a good quality cheese: The cheese is a key ingredient in these quesadillas, so use a cheese that you love.
  • Don't overfill the quesadillas: If you overfill them, they will be difficult to fold and cook evenly.
  • Cook the quesadillas over medium heat: This will help them cook evenly without burning.

These one-pan Parmesan-crusted vegetable quesadillas are a delicious and easy meal that can be made in under 30 minutes.
