Steps:
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro or parsley leaves (or 1 teaspoon dried parsley)
- Preheat the broiler.
- Brush the tortillas on both sides with vegetable oil and lightly salt. Heat a large saute pan over medium heat and cook the tortillas, 1 at a time, until slightly golden on both sides. Meanwhile, in a small bowl, mix together the sour cream, lime zest and juice, cumin, and salt and pepper, to taste, until smooth. Pour into a plastic squeeze bottle or sturdy resealable plastic bag and cut small tip in corner.
- Arrange the browned tortillas on a baking sheet and sprinkle evenly with cheese. (You may need to do this in batches if both tortillas don't fit on 1 tray.) Broil until the cheese bubbles and begins to brown, about for 1 to 2 minutes, (be careful not to burn). Slice each quesadilla into 8 wedges and drizzle sour cream decoratively over the top. Sprinkle with cilantro and serve.

Mushrooms make a meaty quesadilla filling. If you cook them in advance and keep them in the refrigerator, you can slap these together in a pinch.

QUESADILLAS I
A delicious, cheesy pre-dinner treat. I like to make quesadillas without butter, but you could put butter in the frying pan before placing the tortilla in. Serve with sour cream and salsa.

OPEN-FACE MUSHROOM SANDWICHES WITH PECORINO SALSA VERDE
There's something really satisfying that comes with making a meal over a live fire, no matter what's on the grate. Grilling king trumpet mushrooms turns them deeply savory and tender with a meaty bite. But if you can't find them, crimini mushrooms will also work just fine. The only condiment the grilled mushrooms need is Pecorino salsa verde, a tasty remix of a sauce I learned during my time as sous-chef at San Francisco mainstay Zuni Café. Pecorino Romano has an assertive flavor on its own, but tempered by herbs and olive oil it's the perfect accompaniment to grilled vegetables. This sandwich works great as a salad too: Just tear the grilled bread into smaller chunks, slice the grilled mushrooms in half, and toss in a bowl before serving.

Steps:
- Special equipment
- Six-eight 10" metal skewers or bamboo skewers, soaked (optional)
- Pecorino salsa verde
- Toss shallots, vinegar, red pepper flakes, and black pepper in a small bowl to combine; lightly season with salt (the Pecorino will add some saltiness, so bear that in mind). Let sit 3 minutes.
- Meanwhile, very thinly slice Pecorino into tiles with a knife (irregular pieces are okay).
- Add Pecorino, herbs, and oil to pickled shallots and toss gently to combine. Taste and season with more salt if needed; set aside.
- Mushrooms and assembly
- Prepare a grill for medium-high heat; clean grate. Working one at a time, set mushrooms on their sides and slice lengthwise ¼" thick to make 3-4 planks per mushroom, depending their size. If your mushrooms are particularly small or you are using crimini, slice ½" thick and thread onto skewers to keep them from falling through grate.
- Using some of the oil, brush cut sides of mushrooms and transfer to a large bowl or arrange on a rimmed baking sheet if skewered. Lightly brush both sides of each slice of bread with remaining oil and transfer to a platter.
- Press each slice of bread down across grate for even contact and grill until browned with some lightly charred spots, about 2 minutes per side. The goal is a crunchy exterior with a still chewy center. Transfer bread back to platter.
- Brush grate to clean. If using a gas grill, turn heat down to medium. A charcoal grill should be at the tail end of medium-high and headed toward medium at this point, but wait a few minutes if needed. Grill mushrooms, turning halfway through and moving around as needed to avoid flare-ups, until golden all over with lightly charred edges, 6-8 minutes for small pieces and 8-10 minutes for large ones. Return to bowl (slide off of skewers if needed). Add Pecorino salsa verde and toss to combine. Spoon mushroom mixture over grilled bread.
Tips:
- Use fresh, high-quality ingredients for the best flavor.
- Don't overcrowd the quesadillas; otherwise, they will be difficult to flip and cook evenly.
- Use a large skillet or griddle to cook the quesadillas so that they have plenty of room to spread out.
- Cook the quesadillas over medium heat so that they have time to cook through without burning.
- Flip the quesadillas carefully to avoid tearing them.
- Serve the quesadillas immediately with your favorite toppings.
