Yummy homemade GF quesadillas

[Guest guest]

I just found this when looking for a quesadilla recipe on food

network. It sounds SO good!

Quesadillas con Queso Recipe courtesy of Manana Garage, via

Ray

1 cup masa (cornmeal)

1 teaspoon kosher salt

3/4 cup warm water

1/4 cup Monterey Jack, grated

1/4 cup Cotija Blanco cheese, grated

Chipotle Salsa, recipe follows

Sprig cilantro

Place masa and salt in a mixing bowl. Slowly mix in water until you

reach a doughy consistency. Using 1-ounce from mixture, roll into a

ball. By hand, slap the dough and form a tortilla (about 5-inches in

diameter, 1/8-inch thick). If you have a tortilla press, place 1

ounce masa ball and lightly press down and make a tortilla. Repeat

with remaining mixture.

Combine the cheeses and set aside.

To cook tortilla, place it on a griddle or comal that is about 250

degrees F. When tortilla is slightly brown, flip tortilla over and

cook the other side. When both sides are almost done, place cheese

mixture on 1 tortilla and cover with the other one, making a

quesadilla. Cook until the cheese melts. Cut quesadilla into

quarters and serve with chipotle salsa and a sprig of cilantro.

Charred Chipotle Salsa:

4 Roma tomatoes

1/4 cup diced onion

4 garlic cloves, peeled

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 tablespoon chopped chipotle peppers

2 teaspoons sugar

1/8 cup pineapple juice

1 teaspoon kosher salt

1/8 cup fresh cilantro leaves

1 lime, juiced

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.

Place tomatoes, onions and garlic in a small roasting pan. Coat with

olive oil and roast until charred and blistered, about 25 minutes.

Let cool. Place in blender with remaining ingredients. Do not puree,

but leave a little chunky for texture.
