Grilled Quesadilla

This is a meatless version of the Mexican favorite.

One whole quesadilla makes a great meal. Cut in

wedges, it can also be served as a hot hors d'oeuvres.

It's a perfect choice whether you are grilling

outdoors or cooking in the kitchen.

 

 

Serves: 1

This south-of-the-border take on a grilled cheese

sandwich can be made comfortably mild or killer hot,

depending on the salsa you use and whether or not you

include sliced jalapenos. For parties or larger

groups, just multiply the recipe. (One whole package

of Gimme Lean!TM makes seven quesadillas.) The blended

meat mixture keeps overnight when you want to get a

head-start.

Ingredients:

2 ounces (1-inch slice) Gimme Lean!TM Ground Beef

Style

1 T. finely chopped white onion

1/8 tsp. dried oregano

Pinch ground cumin

2 8-inch whole wheat tortillas, preferably fat-free

1 tsp. vegetable oil

2 slices Japapeno-Jack soy cheese, shredded

2 T. salsa, slightly drained

Sliced jalapeno pepper, seeded (optional)

 

 

 

Instructions:

1. Preheat a grill, grill pan, or griddle. If using

a grill, heat it to medium heat.

 

2. Place the Gimme Lean!TM, onion, oregano, and

cumin in a small bowl. Mash with a fork to combine.

This mixture keeps up to 24 hours, tightly covered in

the refrigerator.

 

3. Brush one side of one tortilla with half the oil.

Place it, oil-side down, on a work surface. Spread the

soymeat mixture evenly over the tortilla, leaving a

1/2-inch border around the edge. Spread the salsa over

the soymeat. Arrange the jalapeno slices over the

salsa, if using. Cover with the cheese so it covers

the filling evenly. Top with the remaining tortilla.

Brush the top of the quesadilla with the remaining

oil.

 

4. Grill the quesadilla until it has grill marks and

the edges just begin to char, about 4 minutes. Turn

and grill on the second side, about 3 minutes.

Transfer to a cutting board or plate.

 

5. Serve the whole quesadilla as a main course, or

cut into 8 wedges and serve as an hors d'oeuvre.
