Rolled Turkey and Apple Quesadillas

Rolled Turkey and Apple Quesadillas
quesadila Recipe Ingredients

* Vegetable oil cooking spray
* 1/3 cup whipped cream cheese, at room temperature (about 3 ounces)
* 1/2 tablespoon honey
* 4 (8-inch) whole wheat tortillas
* 1/2 small red apple, such as Red Delicious, cored and sliced into 1/4-inch thick slices
* 1 cup shredded smoked mozzarella (4 ounces)
* 1 cup shredded mild Cheddar (4 ounces)
* 8 thin slices smoked Black Forest deli turkey meat (5 ounces)

Quesadilla Recipe Directions

Spray a nonstick grill pan or nonstick griddle pan with vegetable oil cooking spray. Place over medium-high heat.

In a small bowl, mix together the cream cheese and honey until smooth. Spread evenly over 1 side of each tortilla, leaving a 1/2-inch border around the edge. Place 2 or 3 apple slices in a single row about 1 inch from the nearest edge of each tortilla. In a small bowl, combine the 2 cheeses. Sprinkle half the cheese mixture on top. Place 2 slices turkey side-by-side on top of the cheese. Sprinkle the remaining cheese on top. Tightly roll up each tortilla like a jelly roll.

Place the tortilla rolls, seam-side down, on the grill. Cook, turning every 2 minutes, until the tortillas are brown on all sides and the cheese starts to melt. Cool for 10 minutes.

Using a sharp serrated knife, slice each tortilla roll into 1-inch pieces.

Arrange on a platter and serve.

NICE CHICKEN QUESADILLA

NICE CHICKEN QUESADILLA

Quesadila Recipe Ingredients:
  • 6 soft flour tortillas
  • 2 lbs. chicken breast cut into cubes
  • 1 large red pepper
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 2 teaspoons Adobo seasoning (or any of your favorite seasonings)
  • one package of grated mexican cheese mix
  • oil
  • butter
  • sour cream
Quesadila Recipe Instructions
In a hot skillet, heat some oil. Add the chopped chicken, onions, peppers, and seasoning to the skillet. Fry, stirring frequently, until chicken is cooked. Remove from heat.

Assemble quesadilla:

Place flour tortillas on a flat surface. On each tortilla, cover one half of the area with the fried chicken mixture. Sprinkle with Mexican cheese mix. Fold each tortilla in half. Preheat oven to 400F. Place assembled quesadillas in a non-stick cookie sheet (I usually line the cookie sheet with either wax paper or aluminum foil to avoid the clean up afterward).

Place quesadillas in oven for about 10 minutes. Once the tortillas are out of the oven, slice each quesadilla in half (making 12), and serve immediately with sour cream, guacamole, or any of your other favorite dips.

This makes a great appetizer or snack for a get together.

Enjoy the quesadilla !
