Southwest Supper

Well, I broke out of my vegetarian mode and had a burger today at lunch and now the guilt is mounting, my friend Amara(a fellow veghead) looked at me with contempt and I think may have uttered the word "judas" under her breath. So tonight I have made Roasted Poblano Quesadillas.


Ingredients
2 large poblanos(these are chili peppers if you do not know)
4 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil
4 large flour tortillas
2 cups shredded Monterey Jack cheese


Heat the broiler to high.

Char the poblanos under the broiler to blacken their skins on all sides, 7 to 8 minutes. Place in a bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and let stand 10 minutes.

Peel and seed the peppers, then slice. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Add a drizzle of extra-virgin olive oil and add a tortilla, cover the tortilla with 1/2 cup cheese and 1/4 of the peppers. Fold the tortilla in half and cook 2 minutes to crisp and char the tortilla evenly and melt cheese. Remove and cut into wedges; repeat.

The verdict..........these are pretty tasty, not the greatest thing in the world, but still worth trying at least once. These would also I think go well with my a avocado dip and a it of lime.

Until tomorrow........
