Cheese Quesadilla’s with Garlic
Prawns and Goat Cheese
Ingredients: Ten large flour tortillas, Twenty large prawns, shelled
& deveined; Two teaspoons minced garlic, Two tablespoons olive
oil, One half teaspoon ground cayenne pepper, One ounce Tequila, One
tablespoon of fresh lime juice, One teaspoon salt, Two tablespoons
of butter, Three quarters cup Ricotta and three quarters cup goat
cheese, One half cup of Chez Pablo’s Salsa Fresca, One half cup
chopped fresh cilantro, One tablespoon Chipotle Chili powder, One
large head garlic, roasted, Eight ounces jalapeno pepper-jack
cheese, grated; Three large red bell peppers, roasted; Four large
Poblano peppers, roasted or whole Ortega chili’s, One half cup sun
dried tomatoes in oil.
Preparation: • Marinate the prawns with the chopped garlic, olive oil,
cayenne pepper, salt, lime juice and tequila. Sauté prawns in two
tablespoons of butter for about one and half minutes on each side or
until pink and opaque. Mix the Ricotta & Goat cheeses into a
spread with the roasted garlic, salsa, cilantro and chili powder.
Cut the roasted red bell peppers, roasted Poblano peppers, and dried
tomatoes into julienne strips. Spread the Ricotta mixture on 1/2 the
tortilla. Cut the prawns in half lengthwise and place 4 halves
across the bottom one third of the tortilla. Add about a tablespoon
each of the red bell and Poblano peppers, and one teaspoon sun dried
tomatoes on top of the prawns. Top this off with a generous amount
of shredded pepper- jack cheese. From the bottom, fold up the
tortilla on itself to make a one and a half inch to two inch
flattened roll. Set aside until all ten tortillas are filled. In a
large pan sauté on each side for two minutes or until the cheese is
melted. Cut into four even pieces and serve hot with green salad,
rice and beans.
