Lentil-Cheese Quesadillas
The commonly found green or brown lentils make a satisfying hot quesadilla filling, especially when served alongside salsa, sour cream and guacamole.
2 tbsp. olive oil
1 small onion, diced
2 cloves garlic, crushed
1 1/2 c. cooked lentils (or one 15.5-ounce can), drained
1/2 tsp. adobo seasoning
1/2 teaspoon oregano
3/4 c. Monterey Jack or Pepper Jack cheese
6 flour tortillas
Heat heavy skillet over medium heat; add oil and sauté onion, garlic, adobo and oregano for 4-5 minutes, until onion is tender. Add lentils and heat through, about 2-3 minutes, until mixture is thick and liquid is gone.
To make quesadilla: Over low-medium heat, in a heavy skillet sprayed with vegetable oil spray, place one flour tortilla. Spread with 1/2 cup of lentil filling and 1/4 cup of cheese. Top with second tortilla. When cheese is melted and bottom tortilla is golden, flip to the other side. Brown for 1-2 minutes and remove to cutting board or plate. Cut into 6 wedges and serve. Makes 3 quesadillas with 1/2-cup filling each.
Note: Look for adobo seasoning in ethnic products section.
