Turkey and Mushroom Quesadillas with Beer-Pickled Jalapenos
- 3/4 cups Distilled White Vinegar
- 3/4 cups Beer (I Used A Brown Ale)
- 3 Tablespoons Honey
- 1 teaspoon Kosher Salt
- 4 cloves Garlic, Smashed
- 6 whole Large Jalapenos, Sliced
- 1/4 cups Unsalted Butter, Divided
- 1 whole Medium-sized Yellow Onion, Sliced
- 16 ounces, weight Sliced White Button Mushrooms
- Salt And Black Pepper
- 8 whole Flour Tortillas
- 1- 1/2 cup Grated Cheese Of Your Choice (mozzarella, Monterey Jack And Colby Jack Are All Really Great Melting Cheeses For Quesadillas)
- 1- 1/2 cup Fully Cooked Shredded Or Chopped Turkey (chicken May Be Substituted)
- Sour Cream And Cilantro, For Garnish
- First prepare beer-pickled jalapenos.
- In a medium saucepan, add the vinegar, beer, honey, salt and garlic.
- Heat over medium heat for 34 minutes or until the honey and salt are dissolved and the alcohol from the beer has cooked out.
- Remove from heat and add the jalapenos.
- Set aside to pickle for 3035 minutes.
- The jalapenos will keep in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 2 weeks.
- For the quesadillas, in a large saute pan, melt 1 tablespoon butter over medium heat.
- Add the onions, season with salt and black pepper, and saute for about 810 minutes or until tender and brown.
- Remove the onions from the pan.
- To the pan, add another tablespoon of unsalted butter.
- Add the mushrooms, and cook until brown, about 68 minutes.
- Toss the onions back in with the mushrooms.
- Remove from heat and set aside until you are ready to assemble quesadillas.
- Preheat a griddle pan or large nonstick skillet over medium heat.
- Add a tablespoon or so of butter, and melt.
- Place 1 flour tortilla on the pan.
- Top with a couple of tablespoons of cheese, onion and mushroom mixture, beer-pickled jalapenos, and turkey.
- Top with a couple more tablespoons of cheese and place another flour tortilla on top.
- Press down.
- Flip the quesadilla carefully when the bottom is just a little brown, and cook for 23 minutes on the opposite side.
- Remove from heat, and repeat these steps 3 more times.
- Cut into triangles and garnish with sour cream and cilantro.
- Serve with dipping sauces of choice and enjoy!
