Ingredients
- 2 large sweet onions – cut into halves and sliced
- Extra virgin olive oil
- Coarse salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
- 1 ½ cups Monterey Pepper Jack cheese – grated
- 16 (6-inch) flour tortillas
- ½ cup crumbled goat cheese
- 1 cup cilantro leaves
- ½ cup sour cream
- Guacamole (see recipe)
Directions:
Sauté the onion in a small amount of olive oil until soft and translucent, about 6 minutes. Season with salt and pepper
Lightly butter one side of each tortilla
For each quesadilla, sprinkle 3 tablespoons of the Jack cheese on one flour tortilla on the unbuttered side. Crumble 1 tablespoon of the goat cheese over the Jack cheese. Spoon 2 tablespoons of the sautéed onions on top and lay 7 sprigs of cilantro over the onion. Cover with a second tortilla – buttered side up and press down.
Heat a non-stick grill pan over medium heat. Cook each quesadilla (buttered side down) for approximately 2 minutes – until lightly browned. Flip carefully and continue to grill (buttered side down) until the cheese is melted.
Top each quesadilla with 1 tablespoon of sour cream and 3 tablespoons of the Guacamole. Serve immediately.
