Time 50m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

4 tablespoons olive oil
2 cups chopped asparagus
2 cups chopped baby bella mushrooms
1 cup chopped sweet onion
1/4 cup chardonnay
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
5 tomatillos
3 serrano chiles
1 whole clove garlic
12 corn tortillas
1 cup grated Monterey jack cheese
1 cup goat cheese
1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro

Steps:

  • Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add 2 tablespoons olive oil. Saute the asparagus, mushrooms and onions, about 4 minutes. Add the wine and some salt and pepper. Reduce the heat to low and simmer, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat.
  • Wrap the tomatillos and chiles in aluminum foil and place over an open flame for about 5 minutes on each side. Transfer to a blender with the garlic clove and 1/3 cup water. Blend until smooth. Taste and season with salt and pepper.
  • Wrap the tortillas in a clean, damp dishcloth and place in the microwave for 2 minutes.
  • Fill each tortilla with a little jack cheese and about 1 tablespoon asparagus filling. Fold in half like a taco.
  • Heat a large saute pan over medium-high heat and add the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil. Pan-fry the folded quesadillas in batches until golden and crispy, about 3 minutes on each side. Set aside on paper towels to drain any oil.
  • Serve each quesadilla with some goat cheese crumbled on top and garnish with fresh cilantro.

This quesadilla was a bit bland for my taste. I think it could have used more seasoning.

I've tried this quesadilla a few times now and it's always a winner. The roasted tomatillo salsa is the perfect addition. I like to add a bit of avocado to mine for extra creaminess.

The quesadilla was good, but I wasn't a huge fan of the roasted tomatillo salsa. I think it would be better with a different salsa.

This quesadilla was easy to make and turned out great! The roasted tomatillo salsa was a bit spicy for my taste, but I still enjoyed it.

I've made this quesadilla several times now and it's always a crowd-pleaser. The roasted tomatillo salsa is especially delicious. I like to serve it with a dollop of sour cream and some fresh cilantro.

This quesadilla was a delightful blend of flavors and textures. The goat cheese added a creamy richness, the asparagus and mushrooms brought a savory earthiness, and the roasted tomatillo salsa added a tangy brightness. The tortillas were crispy and
