Cheese Quesadillas with Salsa Verde Recipe
by:    Edward Jones  
 
Cheese Quesadillas with Salsa Verde Recipe uses corn tortillas, fresh tomatillos, onion, fresh cilantro, jalapeno chiles and garlic in making this delicious appetizer recipe.


INGREDIENTS
8 tsp. vegetable oil
16 6-inch tortillas
2 cups shredded Monterey Jack cheese
For Salsa Verde:
2 lbs. fresh tomatillos, husked and chopped
2 small onions, chopped
1 cup water
1 cup chopped fresh cilantro
4 jalapeno chiles, seeded and minced
2 garlic cloves, minced


DIRECTIONS
1: Heat 1 tsp. oil in medium nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1 tortilla. Sprinkle tortilla with 1/4 cup cheese. Top with another tortilla and press with spatula to compact. Cook until cheese melts and tortillas are crisp and light golden, about 2 minutes per side.
 
2: Transfer to work surface. Repeat with remaining tortillas and cheese, adding more oil by teaspoonfuls as necessary. Cut tortillas into quarters. Place on platter and serve with Salsa Verde.
 
3: Combine tomatillos, onions and water in heavy large saucepan. Boil until tomatillos are tender, stirring occasionally, about 5 minutes. Transfer mixture to processor; process until chunky puree forms.
 
4: Chill until cool, about 1 hour. (Can be made 1 day ahead. Cover and keep chilled.) Stir cilantro, chiles, and garlic into salsa. Season to taste with salt.
