The grated zucchini and defrosted frozen corn that fill these tasty quesadillas contain a lot of moisture. Drain them on paper towels for a few minutes before using; otherwise, you'll end up with soggy tortillas. Serve the quesadillas with spicy salsa.
Ingredients
- 1 small zucchini
- 1 c. defrosted frozen corn
- 1 small red onion
- 2 jalapeño peppers
- 1.67 c. drained and rinsed canned black beans (one 15-ounce can)
- 1/2 tsp. salt
- 1/4 tsp. fresh-ground black pepper
- 1 tsp. chili powder
- 3/4 lb. Monterey Jack
- 8 large (burrito-size) flour tortillas
- 2 tbsp. Cooking oil
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine the zucchini, corn, onion, jalapeños, beans, salt, pepper, and chili powder. Toss gently to distribute the seasonings and then stir in the cheese.
- Heat the oven to 200 °F. Set the tortillas on a work surface. Put about 1/3 cup of the filling on one half of each tortilla. Spread the filling to the edge and then fold the tortilla over the filling.
- In a large nonstick frying pan, heat 1/2 tablespoon of the oil over moderate heat. Add two of the quesadillas to the pan and cook, turning once, until the cheese melts, about 1 1/2minutes per side. Remove from the pan and keep warm on a baking sheet in the oven. Repeat in batches with the remaining oil and quesadillas. Cut the quesadillas in wedges and serve.
- Wine Recommendation: Pull out the stops with a full-throttle red zinfandel from Napa or Amador county. These big, powerful, full-bodied wines are loaded with enough ripe blackberry fruit and exotic spice to match the quesadillas and salsa.
