Best Red Chard And Mushroom Quesadillas Recipes

RED CHARD AND MUSHROOM QUESADILLAS

Steps:

• Heat oil in a large pan over medium high heat. Add garlic and, just as it starts to turn golden brown, mushrooms. Sautee until the mushrooms start to cook through.
• Add chopped chard. You may have to do this in batches, adding more as the previous batch wilts to a manageable amount in the pan. Once all the chard is in and slightly wilted, add broth. Cover and cook until the chard is tender.
• Uncover and, if there is still some liquid, allow it to cook almost completely off. When there is just a little bit of liquid, add butter and vinegar. These should combine with the small amount of remaining liquid and thicken into a nice coating for the veggies. Remove from heat. If serving to little ones who can't manage tortillas, separate out their portion of veggies, chop finely, and mix with some grated cheese.
• Wipe out pan and melt a pat of butter, swirling to coat bottom. Place a tortilla in the pan, sprinkle 1/2 of the cheese you want in a single quesadilla, top with veggies, sprinkle rest of cheese, and close with a second tortilla. When bottom layer of cheese melts and bottom quesadilla browns, flip. Melt and brown the other side, and viola! Repeat about 4 more times. Serve with choice of garnish(es).

SIMPLE ONION MUSHROOM QUESADILLAS

Steps:

• Heat a skillet to medium heat and fry onion in a bit of oil or butter. When onion is translucent, add mushrooms and cook until mushrooms have released their juice and the onion is a little browned, about 5 minutes or so. Remove and reserve in a bowl when done.
• Using the same skillet, turn the heat down to medium-low: butter one side of a tortilla and place the buttered side down on the skillet, add some onion/mushroom mix and shredded cheddar cheese. Place another tortilla on top, but with the buttered side facing towards you. Cook for a couple minutes, until cheese starts to melt and the bottom tortilla is lightly browned. Flip and repeat. Remove from skillet and repeat with remaining ingredients.
• Cut in quarters and serve. It's good on it's own, or with typical condiments like sour cream and salsa.
