Quesadillas with Jack and Spicy Saute
- 1 tablespoons peanut oil
- 1/2 medium yellow onion, halved lengthwise and thinly sliced
- 3 medium cloves garlic, thinly sliced
- 2 medium jalapenos, halved lengthwise, seeded, and thinly sliced crosswise
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 4 medium poblano peppers, quartered lengthwise, seeded, and sliced crosswise into 1/2-inch strips
- 1 1/4 cups low-sodium chicken broth
- 12 (6-inch) flour tortillas
- 3 cups shredded jack cheese
- Heat oven to 500 degrees F and arrange 1 rack in top and a second rack in middle.
- Heat oil in a large frying pan over medium-high heat.
- When it shimmers, add onions, garlic, and jalapenos, season well with salt and freshly ground black pepper, and cook until softened, about 3 minutes.
- Add poblanos and stir to coat.
- Add broth and cook until the liquid reduces enough to just coat the vegetables, about 10 minutes.
- Remove from heat.
- When pepper mixture is cool enough to handle, top 1 tortilla with 1/2 cup cheese and 1/6 of the pepper mixture, close with a second tortilla.
- Repeat to make 6 quesadillas.
- Arrange quesadillas on 2 baking sheets and place 1 sheet on top rack and another on middle rack.
- Bake until cheese is melted, about 5 minutes.
- Switch baking sheets and continue to cook until tortillas are golden-brown and crisp, about 5 more minutes.
