The sweet warm figs and tangy melted cheese are an interesting combination. Ingredients:
1 1/2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil |
4 (9 inch) flour tortillas |
2 cups coarsely shredded cheese (recommended spanish manchego, aged cheddar, california dry jack, or monterey jack) |
1 cup trimmed and diced firm ripe green figs or 1 cup black fig |
2 tablespoons minced red onions |
2 tablespoons minced fresh cilantro |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350°; brush a large baking sheet with olive oil.
2. Place the tortillas on the baking sheet.
3. Spread 1/4 cup of the cheese on the bottom half of each tortilla.
4. Add a layer of figs (use about 1/4 cup for each tortilla).
5. Sprinkle each with about 1/2 tablespoons red onion and 1/2 tablespoon cilantro; then top with 1/4 cup of the remaining cheese.
6. Fold the tortilla over to make half-circles; press down lightly.
7. Bake about 8 minutes or until the tortillas are golden brown on the bottom.
8. Using a wide spatula, carefully turn the tortillas over; bake another 3 minutes or until the bottoms are golden.
9. Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let cool slightly.
10. Transfer the quesadillas to a cutting board; cut (using a knife or scissors) each one into 4 wedges.
11. Serve immediately.
