Fresh Fig Quesadillas

 

olive or other flavorless oil

4 large flour or corn tortillas

approximately 2 cups coarsely shredded Manchego,

Monterey Jack or other cheese

about 4 to 6 large, firm, ripe figs, any color or a

mixture of colors, stems trimmed, cut into crosswise

slices

1 jalapeno, trimmed, seeded (if preferred) and finely

chopped

1/4 cup finely chopped red onion or scallions

1/4 cup chopped cilantro

 

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Brush a large baking

sheet or rimmed sheet pan lightly with oil.

Place two of the tortillas on the baking sheet.

Sprinkle about a quarter of the cheese on the bottom

half of each tortilla. Arrange a single layer of fig

slices on top of the cheese, using about 1-11/2 figs

per tortilla. Sprinkle each with about a quarter of

the jalapeno, red onion or scallions and cilantro.

Fold the top half over the bottom and press lightly.

Move the tortillas to one side of the pan and repeat

with the remaining tortillas, using up all of the

filling.

Bake the tortillas for 6 to 8 minutes or until the

bottoms are golden. Remove the pan from the oven and

with a wide spatula, carefully turn each one over.

Return to the oven and bake 3 to 4 minutes more, or

until the cheese is melted and the tortillas are

lightly toasted. Cool slightly before cutting into

wedges. Serve warm. Serves 4.
