SWEET ONION GRILLED QUESADILLAS This is a recipe I obtained from an estate sale. I obtained it when I purchased the family collection from the Olsen Estate in Grand Prairie, Texas in 1982. Ingredients:
1 large vidalia sweet onion |
olive oil for brushing onion and tortillas |
4 large flour tortillas |
3/4 cup grated pepper jack cheese |
1/4 cup packed fresh coriander sprigs washed and dried then coarsely chopped |
Directions:
1. Prepare grill.
2. Cut onion crosswise into 1/4 thick slices and arrange on tray keeping them intact.
3. Brush both sides of slices lightly with oil and season with salt and pepper.
4. Grill onion on a lightly oiled rack set 5 over glowing coals 4 minutes on each side.
5. Transfer onion as grilled to a bowl separating rings.
6. Brush 2 tortillas lightly with oil on one side and put oiled side down on a platter.
7. Divide onion, cheese and coriander between tortillas and cover with remaining tortillas.
8. Brush tops of quesadillas lightly with oil.
9. With a metal spatula transfer quesadillas to rack set 5 over glowing coals.
10. Grill until undersides are golden brown about 1 minute.
11. Sandwiching each quesadilla between 2 metal spatulas flip quesadillas and grill 1 minute.
12. Transfer quesadillas to cutting board and cut into wedges.
