Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

-------- ------------ --------------------------------

4 plum tomatoes -- halved lengthwise

1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil

1 red bell pepper -- julienned

1 poblano pepper

---to 2 poblano peppers -- julienned

4 scallions -- chopped

6 10 inch flour tortillas

8 ounces smoked cheddar cheese -- grated

 

Prepare a medium-hot fire in the grill with a lightly oiled vegetable grill rack

in place.

 

Brush the cut side of the tomatoes with olive oil. Toss the bell peppers,

chiles, and scallions with the remaining olive oil.

 

Grill the tomatoes, cut side down, until soft and lightly charred, about 10

minutes. Grill the bell peppers, chiles, and scallions, toss frequently, until

tender and grill marked, about 7 minutes.

 

Peel and chop the tomatoes and combine wIth the other grilled vegetables in a

medium size bowl.

 

Cool down the grill to low by spreading out the coals or reducing the flame.

 

Coat one side of 3 of the tortillas with nonstick cooking spray. Place the

tortillas, coated side down, on a work surface. Spread a third of the

vegetables on each tortilla. Top each with a third of the cheddar. Place

another tortilla on top of each and press firmly together. Mist the top

tortillas with nonstick spray.

 

Grill each quesadilla until the cheese is melted and the tortilla is lightly

toasted, about 4 minutes. Flip and grill on the other side for 2 to 3 minutes

more. Remove from the grill and keep warm. Repeat with the remaining

quesadillas. Depending on the size of your grill, you may be able to grill two

or more at a time.

 

Cut the warm quesadillas into wedges and serve at once.
