NO CRYING ONION QUESADILLAS
Ingredients
1 large Vidalia or sweet onion
1 each roasted jalapeño pepper
4 each 7-inch fat-free flour tortillas
¾ cup fat-free mozzarella or Monterey Jack cheese
¼ cup cilantro, finely chopped
non-fat cooking spray
Method
1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees or a grill to medium high heat.
2. Peel onion and cut into ¼-inch thick round slices and arrange on pre-sprayed cookie sheet, keeping them intact along with jalapeno or if grilling place directly on grill. Cook until onions and jalapeno start to brown or if grilling until lightly charred and softened.
3. Place onions in a bowl, separating rings. Place jalapeno in small bowl and cover. This will steam skin and you can simply remove charred skin by rubbing it off. Wear gloves when doing this.
4. Take 2 tortillas and divide onion, jalapeno, cheese and cilantro among them and then cover with remaining 2 tortillas.
5. Spray skillet with non-fat cooking spray and heat over medium heat. With a spatula transfer quesadillas to skillet and cook for 3 to 4 minutes or until bottom tortillas turn a golden brown.
6. Lightly spray top tortillas with non-fat cooking spray. Using two spatulas sandwich each quesadillas between them and flip over browning remaining side.
Transfer quesadillas to a cutting board and cut into wedges. Serve immediately.
You may serve with salsa or fat-free sour cream.
