Easy Cleanup
As we’ve grown more sophisticated in this life, so have our quesadillas. Gone are the days of the microwaved renditions of our youth (they got the job done, but they definitely weren’t delicious). This real-deal quesadilla is packed with a cilantro-laden jumble of poblano, onion, and tomato, plus two kinds of gooey, melty cheese. On top, there’s guacamole, fresh salsa, and a drizzle of spiced crema. A good thing just got a whole lot better.

• Wash and dry all produce. Core, deseed, and dice poblano. Halve, peel, and thinly slice onion; mince a few slices until you have 2 TBSP. Dice tomatoes. Roughly chop cilantro. Quarter lime. • 4 SERVINGS: Mince onion until you have ¼ cup.
• In a small bowl, combine minced onion, half the tomatoes, half the cilantro, and juice from half the lime. Season with salt and pepper. • In a separate small bowl, combine half the sour cream and ¼ tsp Southwest Spice (you’ll use the rest of the sour cream and spice blend later). Season with salt and pepper. Add water 1 tsp at a time until mixture reaches a drizzling consistency. • 4 SERVINGS: Use ½ tsp Southwest Spice.
• Heat a drizzle of oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add poblano, sliced onion, and a large pinch of salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, until browned and tender, 7-8 minutes. • Stir in remaining tomatoes, remaining Southwest Spice, and 2 TBSP water. Cook, stirring occasionally, until tomatoes are softened and mixture is thickened and saucy. Remove from heat; stir in remaining cilantro and sour cream. Season with salt and pepper. • TIP: Add up to 2 TBSP more water if veggie mixture seems dry.
• Place tortillas on a clean work surface; sprinkle one half of each tortilla with Mexican cheese. Top with veggie filling, then sprinkle with pepper jack. Fold tortillas in half to create quesadillas.
• Wash out pan used for veggie filling; return over medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. Add quesadillas and cook until tortillas are golden brown and cheese has melted, 2-4 minutes per side. • TIP: Depending on the size of your pan, you may need to work in batches.
• Cut quesadillas into wedges. Top with guacamole and salsa. Drizzle with crema. Serve with remaining lime wedges on the side.
