Italian Quesadillas
The combined flavors of the smoked mozzarella,
roasted red peppers and pancetta are just out of this world!
Preparation Time: 25
minutes, including pancetta fry time Serving Size: 4
- (2) 1/2-inch thick slices pancetta (1/4
-1/2 pound)
- 1 cup provolone cheese, shredded
- 1 cup smoked mozzarella, shredded or
finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons fresh Italian parsley,
chopped
|
- (2) 1/2-inch slices red onion, chopped
- 1/4 cup roasted red peppers, chopped
- Fajita-sized flour tortillas
|
| Chop pancetta into bite-sized pieces and fry
slowly in a skillet until crisp. This may take
some time. Do not cook the pancetta over too
high a heat. Drain on paper towels. Lay a
tortilla on a flat surface. On one half of the
tortilla, sprinkle 1/4 of the provolone and
smoked mozzarella cheeses, the pancetta,
parsley, red onions and roasted red peppers, in
that order. Heat a skillet over medium-low heat.
Add 1 teaspoon vegetable oil. Carefully add the
tortilla to the heated oil. Fold empty side of
tortilla over the ingredients. Cook until bottom
half starts to toast slightly. Carefully flip
the quesadilla over and toast on this side.
Repeat until all ingredients are used. Usually
makes about 4 quesadillas. |
